Hi Rich,
First of all thank you so much for the Start Up Nation website and the opportunity to be featured for the NBC Nightly News project.

I got a call on Monday from Carol, a producer with NBC Nightly News. She interviewed me for about 30 minutes! It was totally awesome. Carol was very excited about my business and my story and said that I would get a call on Tuesday if they decided to move forward. She was saying how the deadline has been changing a lot, so I am guessing it’s changing again or they decided not to go with my story. Didn’t receive the call back.

It was still a great experience to talk with Carol about my business and all that I am learning from Start Up Nation.

Thank you again Rich, Start Up Nation is absolutely the best!

Yours for greater business success,

Thomas T. Venable, Jr.
CEO/President

PS I left my job last year and have not been able to land one since, so in the mean time “I’m a rolling stone gathering no moss.”

Hey Rich, GREAT opportunity for those that fit this equation to share their story. Thanks on behalf of all of us at Startup Nation for reaching out!!

While we don’t quite fit the “brick and mortar” business as of this time, I’m happy to announce that our founder (my wife) has juat left her full time position on her own to continue to promote and grow our Gourmet Foods business. We would welcome the oppurtunity to share our story as well! We have a few months ahead of us now that will be “make or break” for us. Wish us well, and can’t wait to see the episode!!
