Startup Show!

Starts at noon Fridays or anytime after here by recording https://johnswren.clickmeeting.com/YeZyoUVSa9

Does it hurt business to express support for a political candidate?

Coming here soon, the latest research into this question. In our pluralistic society gave we now gone to the politically correct extream of demanding neutrality in politics? Colleges are being accused of trying to stifle political debate  on controversial issues. The conventional wisdom has been that in business the topics of politics and religion should be avoided. Is this no longer true today?

I'll post my thoughts on this topic here over the next week or so as I attend Socrates Cafes here in the metro-Denver area as I gather information and clarify my thinking.

You are welcome to post your thoughts here as a comment now or give me a call if you want to influence my thinking as I try and be as open minded as possible. And it would be great if you'd join me at a Denver Socrates Cafe this week, see Meetup.com/Colorado-Socrates-Cafe-Society

Startup Show: Why Trump?

Today's show: Why Trump?



 I believe Trump is untrustworthy, doesn't really want the job. Anyone would be a better candidate in my opinion.

More on Startup Show, noon MDT today (Friday) on YouTube Live Events, Google+ Hangouts On Air, or my link posted here just a minute before noon.

Hickenlooper and Denver in news

See Twitter.com #J-Hic re Denver drops from #3 to #24 in 2nd edition of Richard Florida's Rise of the Creative Class rankings of most creative cities.

Has #J-Hic been watching The Good Wife?(politician's wife main character, they separated, he went to jail, she's now helping him run for Governor.) NYT article says he claims his wife offered to not leave him if he ran for US President. Does that mean she will come back if he runs against Hillary Clinton in 2016?

This should be no surprise. (Also Tweeted link) #J-Hic and mental health in news.
