“While the language of the law can be intimidating, the concepts are usually quite straightforward,” she says. “Lawyers tend to be risk averse, and if you delegate to them you will usually stay out of legal trouble but can often compromise your business objectives. My goal for the course—and for the coaching I give entrepreneurs—is to give them sufficient comfort with the legal concepts to feel confident in driving the process, to understand the ways in which the law is a constraint, but also the ways in which it is a tool that can help you create and capture value.”
DC10/Summit Series: Not What I Expected (in a good way)
Let me tell you, it isn’t Kilimanjaro, K2, and Everest back to back, but it’s just as impressive.
I was speaking with a friend of mine a few weeks ago who told me about what could only be described at the time as “a ridiculously amazing conference” happening in Washington, DC. As a veteran of the occasional big-ticket conference, I was a little skeptical of what this show was all about. The front page of the website had very little information and the most useful amount of text simply said
DC10 is an invitation-only event that connects top young minds and inspires a new generation of leaders to succeed in business and in life.
This is quite an open-ended statement. Then I checked who was attending, and that’s where the mind-blowing started to happen. President Clinton, Russell Simmons, Aubrey de Grey, Jessica Jackley, Ray Kurzweil, Hugh Panero, John Fahey, John Legend and anyone else who accomplished something phenomenal in the past ten years all in the same place? This is the most amazing clusterfuck of awesome ever to assemble, count me in.
