So I started Station X out of a desire to do something different and since I did not have a job I made my own. I did the business plans, pitched to VC funds and even got paid to drink beer at the Great American Beer Fest. All of this was because I had an idea, an idea that you did not have to live on the coast to start an innovative company. Well then the recession hit and I found out that VC funds in Arkansas lack vision, but more on that later. So we took on client work to pay the bills and let me tell you it is tough to start a business from scratch with no money.
I want to take this chance to publicly thank my wife and best friend Heather Collins. See you may not know but I have 3 kids from a previous marriage and together Heather and I have 2 making a grand total of 5 kids, and I would not chance that for the world. Heather is a wonderful mom to all my kids and together we have been through a lot. See I am thanking her because she has supported us while I was chasing this dream. That is a big burden to take on but through it all she never lost faith in me. So Heather I love you very much and thank you for everything you do.
With that, I am announcing that I have accepted a job as marketing director for a local software company Lindsey Software. I am so very excited about the position and the company. Stay tuned for more on that front. As for Station X, if you are a current client do not fear as we are still in business, but going forward we will be changing a few things, I am not giving up only making some changes. I still believe Little Rock can be the next “Silicon Valley” of the south, but I know now it will take years of hard work, relationship building and money. I am up for the challenge are you?
