I thought this was a great episode until Mark asked about Tracy’s encounters with sexism. She claims there is none. Probably because she’s in a largely female-oriented market in the retail space. Out of desperation, I finally found that I could feed script to my male partner, and it would be much more effective that if I said it. And my partner would readily tell you that I was the one with the expertise and knowledge. Sexism is pervasive, but it can fly quite easily under the radar.

Her story is very typical. As founder of a startup, I am always looking for that special person who can take ownership of a discipline to move the company forward.

Mark — I appreciate your “Honest Advice on Starting a Company” at Standord eCorner greatly

Tracy — Your decision to jump into the internet world from the artistic world and drives great positive social impacts. It reminds me of the decision that I made when I escaped from Viet Nam 30+ years ago as a young fisherman only to ended up in this wonderfully generous America, living with memorably giving (Jewish) family, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Charles_Kors.
Listen to your inner voice … Believe in yourself… Zero in your target and go for it.
Much is appreciated, and thanks for sharing, Mark & Tracy!
Hope, we meet someday … I don’t have your emails. I hope we can stay connected via LinkedIn.

I learned a lot from this episode and it enforced some of the things i assumed to be true, but had no confirmation. Episodes like this are very helpful to the new developer and I know i will use some of the info i learned in my new venture. I have enough capital to get my business started, but I will look to VC in the near future. I have great plans.
