[0:00] well it's one of my biggest frustrations

[0:01] with a lot of Founders I meet with and

[0:03] to be an entrepreneur to start something

[0:06] from nothing whether in a big company or

[0:07] whether you're doing it on your own

[0:09] there's a bit of a craziness to it what

[0:10] drives us to do it is having this Vision

[0:13] in our Mind's Eye this passion for some
