In an attempt to diversify a successful office equipment business, Ted Bradshaw ended up losing millions of dollars.
He built a video game company that was beaten by the mobile gaming revolution, he built a home rental company that was beaten by a supplier who went bankrupt and invested in building a novel technology to produce a radioisotope called technium when he knew nothing about nuclear technology.
Ted's story is one filled with a desperate need to build something innovative coupled with an entrepreneurial desire to prove himself and diversify his business skills and financial interests.
The more Ted's business partners helped him diversify their core business, the further Ted found himself from the daily operations of the home office supply cash cow, which led to a nasty exit and a lifetime of business lessons.
