The Looney Executive


Welcome to The Looney Executive Podcast Series!

I hope you thoroughly enjoy our  episodes. And remember ... This Ain't Your Grandaddy's business show!

Nov 12, 2013

Right now Kevin Hiser and the crew at QStart Labs can help you go from "zero to completed web tech prototype" in a week. And this isn't just a basic Minimally Viable Product. It's more than that. And soon, hopefully real soon, he wants to cut down that lag time to 24 hours.

What can I say ... the man's got ambition!

Kevin joins me to talk about his journey to become CEO of QStart Labs in 2009. We discuss the growing tech startup scene in Columbus, OH (where he's based) and, believe it or not, Greenville, SC, another emerging tech startup community.

Say what ... Greenville, SC? Really?

We discuss the elements needed to build a vibrant community of tech startups. Kevin also tells why one of his favorite biz movies is Glengarry Glen Ross and which two tech startup titans would meet in a gladiator showdown.

And the winner is ... uh, sorry, you'll have to listen to learn that!

Oh, one more thing. After Kevin's interview I have a short discussion with Steve Nutt. Steve is responsible for Tech Town in Dayton, OH. Steve gives an overview of the Tech Town concept, maybe the first in the country. Tech Town is also the sponsor for this episode.

Thanks for listening and enjoy the show!
