Genius Of Startup interview

Interview0 Comments

Liu interviews Corcoran and Medved at the 92nd Street Y about great business ideas. Medved:

Many people get this idea that it’s all about the idea…and that’s completely wrong. The first thing you have to do is you have to develop the idea. Even before you start building, you have to convince other people that it’s a great idea.

Corcoran:

I don’t really pay much attention to the idea at all. If it’s common sense and it’s plausible, that’s fine…I’m hyperfocused on the entrepreneur. I’m trying to pick out the right people

Wherever I go, usually I run into women and we talk about health issues, women’s issues, breast cancer, ovarian cancer. I’ve talked to men about their daughters’ and wives’ health.

It’s a double edge sword. A lot of artists aren’t getting paid full scale for their art and the internet because of downloading and things like that is kind of like a blackhole. It’s hard to audit, it’s hard to get accounting.

Daniels talks to Wildtalkradio.com about the new direction of TNA and Montel Vontavius Porter coming to the company.

I think it’s a great time to be a TNA fan, because when you see guys like MVP come to TNA; you see guys like Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards (The Wolves) entering TNA, you just got to be happy with the possibilities, the unseen match-ups that so far haven’t been seen and you’re going to get a chance to see them.

Kristen Bell interview

Interview0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Bell during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about her campain to ban paparazzi from taking photos of children.

It just occurred to me no one was working on the demand side. So I wanted to start a conversation with people, much like when we all found out there is pink slime in our meat, no one wanted to eat it. When you find something nasty goes into procuring something for you as a consumer, your feelings about it change. I think people who look at pictures of kids, like kids. I don’t think they realize it actually creates a really unhealthy and unsafe environment for the child.

Makers interview

Ginsburg talks about breaking legal ground for women, her first case before the Supreme Court, and her husband’s support.

I attribute part of my success in law school to my daughter. She was 14 months old when I started. Every day at 4 o’clock, my time at law school was over, and it was children’s time. Each was a respite from the other. When my daughter went to sleep, I was happy to go back to the books.

Interview0 Comments

Keys discusses her career and album, Girl on Fire, in this interview for PBS.

Well, I personally, this whole project, this whole time in my life, this whole album really represents a really important time for me, where I’ve actually – it’s funny you bring up that word – where I’ve actually been in the process of removing fear from my vocabulary, from my essence. Because I feel like we can do so much greatness when we’re not afraid. It’s when we become afraid of everything and worried about everything that you are never going to reach your highest potential.
