Two New Radio Appearances – One as Guest, One as Host

August 29, 2012, Events
http://www.schoolforstartups.com/two-new-radio-appearances-one-as-guest-one-as-host/

Wanted to let you know about two radio pieces I was involved with.  One is on topic, entrepreneurship is not about creativity, risk, or passion. I was on Dee McCrorey’s show, the Reinvented World.  She has a great book called Innovation in a Reinvented World: 10 Essential Elements to Succeed in the New World of Business (Wiley, 2011) which is a practical guide for thriving in a new reality.  See this cool pic of her book at the NYC Barnes and Nobles.  And listen to the show here.

And are you aware of my new radio, Restaurant Owner Radio?  Check it out too. This week’s guest were great, Ryan Costigan from the Ga Restaurant Association, Alan LeBlanc of Max Lager’s, and Joe McFadden of Pure Taqueria. We talk about service and why learning “why is more important than how.”  Great stuff. I have also had George McKerrow (founder of Ted’s and Longhorn) and Kevin Rathbun (Iron Chef winner over Bobby Flay).

Atlas Shrugged Part 2 Details and Trailer

February 7, 2012, Events, General Thoughts
http://www.schoolforstartups.com/atlas-shrugged-part-2-details-and-trailer/

Atlas Shrugged Part 2 will happen.  And again, we greet the news with mixed emotions.  Glad it will get done, scared they will screw it up, again.

Enough has been said about Part 1, yes its was so exciting that it got made, so disappointing that it was not better.  I guess my imagination is better than a $10 million budget would allow.

Jim Beach of School for Startups

The first half of the trailer for Part 2 looks more like a Fox News commercial.  There is no new footage, as they have yet to film anything new, but they couldn’t even find any old Part 1 stuff laying around the editing room floor apparently. The second half is mostly a Rand interview from 1959.  For those that really want to push her legacy, you should get all the videos of her, and burn them!  She is cold and heartless on video and makes a very poor spokesperson for anything, much less her already harsh message.  See the trailer here.

Part 2 will begin filming in April with a release date in October, just before the election. Should make for some very interesting comparisons.  Part 2 should include the famous Money speech by Francisco.  To refresh…

“So you think that money is the root of all evil?” said Francisco d’Aconia. “Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can’t exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil?”  Can’t wait to see this part!
