I spent late yesterday afternoon with my father at the Tesla showroom in the Westchester Mall. We left the kids behind and went to seriously look at the Tesla because I’d been reading glowing reviews and I’m, well, a curious car guy. The picture below is actually my father driving the car. Expectations were set [...]

Just last week, we launched our first book at kbs+ Ventures. The book was derived from the insight that our agency‘s staff wanted to learn more about innovation frameworks and what entrepreneurs have to do in order to build a business. You can download the book here (more formats for the book coming in the [...]
I’ve been looking forward to 2013 for quite some time both personally and professionally. Personally, my kids are a bit older and it’s easier to do things with them. Now two and four years of age, they are young and eager to take on many challenges except of course, eat broccoli or string beans. Professionally, [...]
I met with a friend and seasoned entrepreneur turned academia recently, Aaron Cohen. For those of you who know him, he’s been around the block and has seen a lot in his days of being a successful executive at digital media companies. He walked in the room and asked, how I was doing? I am [...]
This past week, I took my family to the Outerbanks for a beach vacation. It was actually the first time my two kids flew on an airplane and it was quite the experience (they did well, FYI). I made it a point to be “off the work grid.” While I uploaded some Instagram photos and [...]
It’s that time of year again when we’re just weeks away from the Silicon Alley Golf Invitational. Or SAGI as I commonly refer to it as. This event started ~7 or so years ago but only in the past 3 years have I used the fancy name. It all started with myself and 3 founders [...]
Things look a bit different around here, no? Over the years, this blog has gone through different designs. I like changing things up every 3-4 years or so to keep not only the site fresh, but my mind inspired to keep blogging. With a new look and feel, I hope to contribute again regularly and [...]
I grew up in a middle class home in Westchester County, NY where the forced dream was to go to college. I grew up with the pressures of “not if” but “where” I was going to college and from early grade school, I was prepping for the SAT’s. That one test was the key to [...]
I’m about a month behind planning for this year’s 2012 Silicon Alley Golf Invitational, but rest assured, by Friday, I’ll have the date and venue which will get sent out to all of the players from last year to reserve their spot at some point over the weekend. If you’d like to add your name [...]
For 2 hours last night, I sat uninterrupted while watching AMC’s debut of Season 5 of Mad Men. They did a great job recapping Season 4 and setting up plenty of plot opportunities for the remainder of this season. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to watch Mad Men without having worked in [...]
