Some background…

Sometime late 2016, early 2017 I had one of my many conversations with Casey Allen (for more info click EnterpriseRising | LinkedIn | @casey__allen) about the Minnesota startup and tech scene. We have these a lot. Usually sharing news with each other once a week or so. It usually involves one of us going on and on for 30 minutes about some news item, trend or thing startups and tech companies should be doing.

A while after that Casey asked me if I would be interested in doing a startup and tech podcast and I said yes. I had been a contributor on the Tech.MN GetDown podcast last year and I liked doing them.

We then had a conversation about who we would like to have as a 3^rd person and Casey already had someone on his mind… Kathy Grayson, Senior Reporter at Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal (for more info click LinkedIn | @mspbjGrayson). We’ve both known and worked on stories with Kathy for many years so I was excited at the idea. More so when she said yes.

Fast forward to late spring, early summer when we started recording sessions at the Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal office. It was a lot of fun and we produced really good content.

I think we hit our stride on #5 when we invited Scott Burns to join us. He has been in the news a lot this year with the start of Structural and Osborn370. More on that tomorrow when I focus on that podcast.

Last week we did our 6th which will be out soon. We will be recording two times a month.

Our goal is to shine a light on the Minnesota startup and tech scene and talk with those active in the region. And get more in depth with them than a usual print/web article can do.

So take a listen to the podcasts and if you have a moment send me an email paul@mnheadhunter.com and answer one/all of these questions:

• How are we doing so far with content? Do you find this interesting?
• What would you do different?
• What topics would you like us to cover and who would you want us to chat with?
