Bootstrap on the Radio

Fellow Bootstrapper Jason Myers, founder of Business District Magazine , has just launched a 1-hour radio show every Sunday at 3pm on 1370AM Talk Radio . Last Sunday was the inaugural show with a spirited discussion between our own Gary Hoover and Jan Triplett on the entry of Walmart at Northcross Mall.

This Sunday (tomorrow), Jason will interview me on Bootstrapping, Bootstrap Network and how we bring our creative communities in Austin together. A good part of the discussion will revolve around my recent article in the current issue of ABD. Just yesterday, Kevin, Steve and I spoke at Wisdom at Work on how to create a vibrant community for their members based on insights we've learned at Bootstrap. Interestingly, this issue's Fast Company has an article by Andrew Park on cities trying to find their "inner Austin" to become attractors for the Creative Class (pg 43). Andrew also wrote the BusinessWeek article on Bootstrap last year.

We'd love it if folks would call in tomorrow and join the discussion. The number is: 512-390 1370. The show is 1hr and starts at 3pm.
