Thanks for having me on! A lot of great questions that I hope people will find helpful while listening.
@Robb: Thanks for participating. I learned quite a bit and I’m sure our listeners will as well.
Great chat – Definitely got some value out of this conversation. I think the most important thing you guys touched on is passion. If you don’t got it – You wont cut it.
Keep these coming Srinivas!
This conversation really flowed. Very informative. Thanks for sharing practical information. The examples about lessons learned from things that did not workout were invaluable. Will definitely save a lot of time and effort that could be invested in things that have worked for people like the two of you who are successful. Many thanks. – From: Merry Mary
