Flew back yesterday from The Summit with 70 other totally ADD serial entrepreneurs. Man, what a trip. In addition to the odds being in the girls’ favor (1:11 girl:guy ratio) ha! jk! the crew was amazing; there was an amazing cross-section of entrepreneurial minds, especially from the tech space. I normally don’t hang with that crew, so it was just a total blast. Viva la Mexico!
Catherine Levene (Daily Candy); Graham Hill (Treehugger); David de Rothschild (Adventure Ecology) and I chill poolside in Playa del Carmen in between mingling and more mingling.
Scott Harrison strikes a pose outside of Cancun, Mexico where Jake Strom (TOMS) arranged a last minute shoe drop. Scott later went on to give a presentation on Charity: Water that touched the whole crew. So forget what I said before, I’m postponing my trip to go the the Charity: Water ball on December 15th. It’ll be a whole Summit reunion too – as I think the whole NYC crew and some of the left coast contingent will be coming too.
Scott, David and James chill out during dinner. Images compliments of H. Rowland!
Stay tuned for more down the road. I’m certain after this event they’ll be more biz collaborations. As I said, most of us will be re-uniting at Scott’s event on December 15th, so come out, buy some wells, and have a good time.
What I learned at the Summit:
- Tech entrepreneurs are not as dorky as you think they are
- West Coast can’t win at tug-of-war unless they cheat
)
- Don’t tackle Tim Ferriss unless you want to be broken in half on your back in the sand
- So many good ideas, so little time
