Hello listeners, Today's guest is Mike Wacholder. Mike was my boss for a number of years when I worked at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, (RPI). When 2 old friends get together, the conversation can go long. This one did so we broke my conversation with Mike into two parts. This week is part 1. Part 2 will be released next week. Mike was one of the early innovators in University-based Technology Parks and Technology Business Incubators. And remained at the forefront of these two important entrepreneurial resources until his retirement several years ago. Mike was also the best boss I ever worked for. Make sure you also tune in next week to hear how a life-changing event turned Mike into an inspirational writer.
