Wow, Some people can't extract good points out of Flamboyant Answers. This is a problem many have with www.Mahalo.com creator Jason Calacanis. Why do I care? I don't, but he's a Very Hard Worker from the East Coast tearing up the West Coast Silicon Valley. Sure he likes to say stuff for shock appeal, but HE'S FROM NYC the media capitol of the World. He's trained to hit nerves,sift out the weak and attack. Not his fault, really. Blame the game.

www.Techcrunch.com has a storm brewing between it's reporter and the owner. Seems to be a problem with points Calacanis made about starting a company. I won't bore you with the details but starting a company is a very hard thing to do. I for years produced music and wrote songs. I turned my basement into a studio and decided to pick up some "partners" to start a production company. Things were fine at first, we're all human so physical mistakes are ok. Mental mistakes, though can kill a company and that's what happened. I blame myself for not finding people as hungry or confident about the product as I was. So I cut my losses and started a Computer Repair Company. Ran into the same problem, I was bringing to the table more than my partner. That's not teamwork and I lost clients because of that. Now I run myself and I have more customers than I can shake a stick at. Why? because I believe in myself, I don't make mistakes I can't fix and I stay humble enough to pass off a job I can't or don't have time to do... Oh and Robert Scoble at www.scobleizer.com rocks for being on JC's side...
P.S I have a 3yr.old a 4yr.old(don't ask), and a 6yr.old With my wife of 10yrs this November...
