Spud’s Thoughts:
My mom actually sent me this opportunity as she’s from one of the towns where the tour will be stopping through. I appreciate the fact that folks are beginning to recognize that innovation is not unique to Silicon Valley and that there are lots of entrepreneurs around the country that could use support. I personally have done quite a few roadtrips to force myself to get out of my comfort zone and go meet others in their hometowns.
