Sometimes I write things…
I've put pen to paper and finger to key quite a few times. I tweet. I even wrote a book with my mom.
Some of the outlets I’ve written for include Entrepreneur.com, VentureBeat, The Guardian, The StarTribune (top 10 newspaper readership in the US), The Startup (Medium's largest active publication, followed by +756K people), Startup Grind, TechCrunch, NextBillion, SocialEarth (a social impact media company I founded), and Startups.com.
Below you’ll find links in timeline order to articles, columns, and blogs I’ve written.
