Partnerships: a conversation with Kare Anderson
(Visit Microbusiness Conversations at Blog Talk Radio, today at 2 pm Eastern, to listen to this interview. You can also listen to the archived show right here, from the widget in the sidebar.) Kare Anderson is literate and eloquent, generous and compassionate and — just in case you can’t tell — I really enjoyed my [...]
Jobs: a conversation with David Gewirtz
It’s not all that often that I come across an intellectual kindred spirit, which I guess means that I am moving in the wrong circles. If I stop and think about it, the most outstanding virtue of David Gewirtz is his common sense. In Washington, policy makers have been running around like so many headless [...]
The Economy: a conversation with Anne Wenzel

Janna is also an aspiring professional athlete. Her sport is Women’s Boxing. And she is [...]
Mindfulness: a conversation with Jane Chin
I struggled with a single-word description I could use for this particular segment. On the one hand, the sorts of stuff I tend to want to discuss with Jane Chin tend to be fairly complex and not given to one-word soundbyte-style descriptors. And, besides that, most of the things I managed to come up with [...]
By the numbers: a conversation with Dr. Zolten Acs
Dr. Zolten Acs is the new Chief Economist for the SBA Office of Advocacy, which makes him one of the government’s top experts on small business research. Since I’m a die-hard data fangirl, that made this a particularly fun conversation for me. Dr. Acs was in London at a conference and he was gracious enough [...]
