Many of my engagements begin with a phone call from an investor. Most often they are concerned that the company they funded is in real trouble and/or is teetering on the brink. These can be melancholy calls because there is often little for me to do but conduct a postmortem - to figure out what went wrong…

Over the past week I have been going through some family issues which began with a medical emergency last Friday. Everyone we talked to from our family practitioner to the ER medical team believed that the signs pointed towards one thing. When the surgeons went in to operate on Saturday morning, they found an entirely different problem was manifested in the same environment.

After I sold off my interest in my last company I decided to head for Scotland to pursue PhD research into social and political systems. It turned out to be a very productive break - clearing my mind of all focus on business for just over four years. Upon my return, I faced the proverbial ‘clean slate’ challenge. ‘What was I going to do now?’
After a bit of wandering around, I decided that,…
