Around the Corner-MGuhlin.net Podcast

In most of my presentations this year, I invariably highlight the point that schools are increasingly irrelevant to our youth. The power of the Internet to provide free/libre, open source software tools, accessibility of customers (a la Long Tail), the power of Google to find what you need to learn when you need to learn it, a vision of what could be, and a surrender to the passions of the heart...well, these very well describe what it may be that pushes young folks to walk out universities and schools, and go into business for themselves.
Moises Vega is one of the examples I use to highlight this point. Moises is co-founder (his wife is the other) of a Call Records Management business--known as ELCONIX--in Panama. (Full Disclosure: Moises is my 27 year old nephew). His product has grown so popular that he now markets it abroad, including the United States...he dropped out of his university studies because he didn't want to wait five years to get started.
This is the first of two podcasts. I urge you to listen to him share his point of view about how he got started and the conviction he has. He makes points that merit our attention and interest as educators.
