We were fortunate to catch Tim by mobile phone as he dashed through an airport in December of 2008.
Tim’s story is a fascinating one; in part because of the idea itself - the technology - the innovation: PANDORA is a (free) subscription Internet radio service which allows you to customize endless personalized radio stations based on your mood at the time, and on the “DNA” or genome of the music you love. PANDORA continues to feed you music based on that science...

Tim’s path is a 10-year journey... one not for the weak-of-heart.
Hear a bit about his fearless journey & vision for the future.

We chatted with Sam @ Somer’s Diner... a Cleveland icon (which he happens to own).
This 23-year-old has wisdom way beyond his years. We talked about work-ethic... the disciple required to make a business “go” (especially today)... and how to be creative (yet practical) in any business.
