I know the guy who started Ike's Place in San Francisco. He went from being homeless at some point in his life to the number one SF restaurant on yelp.com. I think the reason why he is so successful now is because he has some big failures under his belt. He has a tech degree but was always interested in starting non-tech businesses.

That's quite interesting. I live a block away from Ike's Place and have seen several businesses come and go in that space. I figured the location was just not good enough to support enough traffic for a business. Then one day this little sandwich shop opens up. I write it off as something that won't last based on what I've seen happen to other shops in that space. We'll I'm glad nobody was taking bets that day. Oh, it's lunchtime, I think I'll treat myself to a sandwich.
