Sunday Morning Townsquare – September 30 2012

This week on Sunday Morning Townsquare, Paul speaks with:

• Rick DeVos - ArtPrize and Start Garden

Thanks for listening!

• Rick DeVos, ArtPrize and Start Garden

Rick and I chat about some of the things he and his team have learned over the first few years of ArtPrize, the decision to extend first week voting and add more money for juried awards, ArtPrize short lists and which ArtPrize exhibits have caught his attention.  We also discuss what separates StartGarden from past entrepreneurial initiatives like Momentum and 5x5 Night, his personal involvement in helping to make StartGarden weekly selections, the newly opened StartGarden clubhouse, how some of the early StartGarden picks have progressed, growing up in an entrepreneurial family and how that shaped him, a few recent books he's read that he recommends to young entrepreneurs, the pitfalls entrepreneurs can face from planning things to death, the movie business, and more……
