The Results Junkies Road Tour is going to be here in three weeks! Some people have been asking me what to expect during the tour.
Paul and his team are going to be in Sioux Falls the entire week, but that doesn’t mean that you need to take 5-days off work and attend every single event. Instead, we are going to be planning different events for different groups throughout the week, and you should pick the ones that are in alignment with your interests. Read more
Planning for Paul Singh’s Sioux Falls tour is coming together well. A number of businesses have stepped up to sponsor the Results Junkies Road Tour including Zeal, The Bakery, Sanford Health, Meta Bank, Sioux Falls Startup Week, Throne Publishing, MarketBeat, Co-Op Architecture, Code Bootcamp, and BrightPlanet. Thank you all!
These sponsors know the true value of having a tour like the Results Junkies Road Tour spend a week in Sioux Falls. Our community is ripe for entrepreneurial growth and having a national spotlight on what we have to offer is the exact energy that we need to kickstart our growth.
So last fall I made an outreach to Paul Singh and asked him to bring his Airstream and Results Junkies Road Tour to Sioux Falls — and he agreed.

I am passionate about our community and honored to having Paul come. Read more

In of preparation of Global Entrepreneurship Week, The Bakery is coordinating a number of educational workshops and asked me if I would teach one. I have no time to commit to putting together a course so I suggested that we set up a technology entrepreneur panel instead — no preparation work for me.
The panel discussion will be held on November 16 from 5 to 7 and we’ll get three or four panelists together to discuss “The Future of Technology Entrepreneurism.” Our panel will be made up of true technology people who either run technology businesses or have launched technology businesses.

The fair included all hands-on activities including video game programming, chemistry, design thinking, 3D printing, and more.
This summer we hosted nine Gaming Bootcamps around our region that included 133 kids. Out of all of those kids, most of them were boys, which just breaks my heart. We struggled to get six girls to attend our camp that we co-hosted with the Girl Scouts. Read more
