The Road to Entrepreneurship...

Hey there! It’s been a while - almost 3 months to be exact. I recall sounding really confused and unsure on how to proceed on this journey. Do I build on my podcasting hobby “Geeks in Running Shoes” or should I follow up on some other web ideas? You know, this journey gets quite frustrating sometimes that’s for sure. It just seems to get more confusing as I go on along it. Oh well, I am really excited now! I feel like this week I was hit with 10,000 volts of electricity and I am out of the funk that I was in. It is exciting!!

So what happened? Well I got introduced to some local Chicago tech blogs - Technori and Flyover Geeks. Maybe it was the content on these blogs or just the stars aligning in a particular way but something about these blog sites got to me. Reading through them reestablished the enthusiasm that got me into entrepreneurship in the first place. I saw local entrepreneurs around my age doing the kind of things that I have been talking about over the years. I realized that Chicago is indeed a tech startup city just like San Francisco, and Austin. I remember looking out to these cities and wondering what it would be like to be part of their communities. That is, cool tech startups comprised of young people my age. I never thought to look in my own backyard. I have uncovered an excitement around tech startups in the city. An era of excitement that I am anxious to be a part off and help shape.

So what’s next? Well now that I am aware of this community and I have access to it, I am going to be a part of it! I’ve already signed up for a few meetups and yeah I am working on a project - details to come :)

So expect to see me out there Chicago!
