I actually called his office last week trying to speak with him. Some of the best venture capitalists took my calls to give some great suggestions and feedback. One was an original investor in WebMD and another was a very big in the venture world. I even had a discussion with Alan Patricof's office since Alan's son and I were friends since childhood. I used to hang out at their house before Bill Clinton did. I also lived across from another rug dealer who did pretty well. His name was Tom Freston and for those of you who are kind of young, he was the main guy at MTV a long time ago. I set a meeting with MTV just by calling him up and persisting. You never know what you can accomplish when you put your mind to it. It doesn't matter if your a rug dealer, have a PHD, or were homeless. My motto is to keep going and to never stop no matter what!
