Startup Weekend: A Special Kind of Crazy

By

Asheville Startup Weekend inspired me to talk about a special kind of crazy — the kind of crazy that inspires you to work, to create, to spend time outside of goofy entertainment during your free time.  I hope to eventually update this post with just that part of my remarks, but for now, it starts at 4:15 from this clip. People who participate in Startup Weekend are among my favorite kinds of people, because we all have that special kind of crazy.

Note that I wore my WDS2013 shirt under my jacket. This was not an accident. 🙂

Update: I wrote an InformationWeek column that elaborated on this a good bit, let me know what you think. 🙂
