Nothing like a few young minds to warp!
I had a great time tonight speaking to a group of students from the local highschools in a career spotlight for the ’Leaders of Tomorrow’ program. I have to admit – I was a bit nervous about filling two hours, and yet now in hindsight I feel like this was only the beginning of [...]

We left Saas Fee and made a B line for Milan, we heard Paris Hilton was in town and really, what vacation is complete without a Paris Hilton sighting…? actually we wanted to check out the infamous Duomo, cathedral to the stars.

We spent the rest of the day on the patio at No One (Sheila’s friend Franzi’s bar) relaxing and killing time before we [...]

Day 1:
One of the greatest things about traveling is the crazy situations that present themselves, often by chance. We seem to been destined for these fluke opportunities this trip - right place at the right time… turns out being in Saas Fee this weekend was just the case. Sheila and I both got all access passes [...]

Today marks the triumphant return of Sheila and I to the great Glacier Express train to Zermatt. This time we came prepared with a ridiculous amount of tickets to ensure a safe voyage to the Matterhorn. Last time our trip was cut short when we were forcibly removed from the train after arguing with the [...]

Switzerland… land of beautiful snowcapped peaks, rolling fields, rustic ski chalets nestled in the alps… and robots?
I’ll start from the beginning. After a short train ride yesterday into the Valais Region (the gateway to the Alps) we arrived at our destination – Saas Fee. We checked into our hotel, the beautiful Hotel Tenné. We spent [...]

Hey Jason,
That was a great seminar tonight. I know I got a lot out of it, and I’m sure a lot of others did too. It’s great to hear success stories and advice on making it on your own. Hopefully lecturing to the younger generation didn’t scare you off too much; all of Murtha’s students would benefit from learning how to start their own companies and being entrepreneurs.
So thanks for taking the time to talk to us. It’s definitely inspired me not to settle on being the middle man in a firm but to pursue what you really want, and it’s given me ideas on furthering my own company.
