I think the presentation does an amazing job informing entrepreneurs how to sell to companies once they're in your sales pipeline. How do you get their attention in the first place? I asked Bill Campbell and Ben Horowitz this question at an

I studied Industrial Engineering & Operations Research (OR) in undergrad and grad school. Traveling Salesman is one of the classic OR problems. It's fun to see OR make it on the silver screen.

I feel like the kitchen can be an entrepreneur's playground. Cooking (and eating) was always a very social affair with my friends and family. I started learning to cook as a child when I helped my mom and dad make Sunday dinner for a family

I recently went to a presentation by Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence. He lead the audience in an exercise that he called "mindfulness". He asked us to close our eyes, breathe in and out, and focus our minds only on our brea

This isn't an apples to apples comparison. Asian Americans have never systematically disenfranchised white Americans. However, you bring up some interesting points but that I have a couple of issues with including probationary whiteness, su

I would say that racism is about hate, ignorance, and creating systematic barriers to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Women are considered a minority group; yet, white women still retain the privilege of being white. It sounds l
