First New Epiphany in Awhile.

It's been roughly 7 weeks since I last posted. Only excuse, I had nothing important to say. Well now I do. Arrived in Santiago, Chile last week Thurs. as part of the Start-Up Chile program and have been settling in and building up momentum trying to break out into a run again.

My first epiphany of this renewed period of startup activity is that it takes a village to raise a child, more correctly in this case, a community to raise a startup. CiviSide/GuaranteedInterview.com is a a social enterprise that solves a problem that civic minded people in Canada, the U.S. and around the world want to see solved, the reintegration of their warriors into society. I need to simply facilitate their efforts and help them achieve their desires. To this end I am seeking out community leaders that want to do their part in reintegrating warriors. I am going to spend less time trying to persuade individual companies the benefits of giving veterans a hand up, and instead put my effort into mobilizing civic leaders in industry and government to tap their networks and spread the word of how the recruitment of veterans is being democratized through the Guaranteed Interview Program. This program is a tremendous tool in the hands of those with the will to see the end of veteran unemployment/underemployment.
