Jesse,

Brandon told me today about your company — so I jumped in to learn more about AMPushMedia. Sounds like you and Nick have got a winner going. Keep it up and good luck.
Life can be so much fun, always learning and always doing positive things.
At my young age I am still working — running Vital Learning (formerly McGraw-Hill Training Systems) for a friend of my. The President resigned in August 2008 and my friend called and ask me to temporarily run company until he coud fine a buyer. Long story short — I drive to Omaha from Kanasa City (3 hours) every week. Having fun trying to kick start this business — adult business skills training.
Right now working on taking some of our content and creating Apps to sell through itunes to iphone, iPod and iPad owners.
Hope all is well with you. Carolea and I plan to get to San Diego sometine soon to see Brandon and Emily.
Take care — great success — have a terrific 4th.
George

Nice, man – geotargeting definitely helps (for SEO, too)

Comment on Was the Groupon Price Tag Cheap? by Savneet

Good point Jesse – plus imagine when they start rolling this out internationally. I do think for some time there could be a few players in the market, but i wonder over the long run how many survive (i think a few). It’s such a profitable model though that even the bad clones can make good money.

Unlike GILT, which I think will be the only winner in it’s space (domestically), i think you could have a few groupons make it.

BTW, I failed to mention how great of a business/business model Groupon is… it really is incredible. The AMPUSH team has some interesting takes/spins on it that you may see at some point.

Comment on The “Rob a Bank Test” of Startups by Savneet

Nice post Jesse.

A slight addition: You also probably want a co-founder who is not exactly like you. Differing views leads to a solution oriented culture.

Couldn’t agree with you more!! This is by far the most insightful take on entrepreneurship I have come across recently.

Great post. I can’t believe that there’s no free alternative to Bloomberg online. It doesn’t make sense. I guess I don’t really understand the value of Bloomberg because I’ve never worked in finance, but at the end of the day, it’s just information. And information online is free.

Comment on Remembering the Consumer Experience by Savant

Jesse,

I enjoyed this post. You’re spot on about the consumer being lost in lead generation. This makes me wonder and want to ask you; do you think lead gen is ripe for regulation? It seems to have all the ingredients for government scrutiny: bad consumer experience, middle men getting rich and limited transparency.
