On Hearing Kaleil Isaza Tuzman Speak

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to hear Kaleil speak and then talk with him briefly afterwards. For those of you who don't know him, he was the main character in Startup.com, a movie which follows Kaleil raising over $60 million and then eventually losing $50 million of it. In addition, he is writing a book on entrepreneurship, which is coming out in the Spring. I think it will be very well received based on the concepts he brought up in his talk.

He definitely has a good blend of charisma, determination, and centeredness. It is interesting to see how the movie depicted him very much differently (more selfish) in my opinion. I wonder if this depiction hurts him when he meets new people.

At any rate, I followed up with an email, sent my book, and asked if we could meet. Hopefully, we can build a mutually-beneficial relationship.
