Greetings from (rainy. very very rainy.) Omaha! I’m excited to get to spend the next couple days learning and networking and drinking coffee at Big Omaha. In its third year, this conference is “the nation’s most ambitious conference of innovation and entrepreneurship.” Also, it rocks. If you’re in the Midwest, or if you’re entrepreneurial-minded, or […]
