Today we bring you the origin story of Culture Map.  Robert Bennett is on the show today to share his journey of coming to own Culture Map along with Alex Muse and how they’ve transformed it into what it is today.

But first, today’s show is sponsored by American Ventures, an original program showcasing some of the most innovative leaders running companies today.  Head over to AmericanVenturesTV.com to see if your company has what it takes to featured.

Today’s show is also sponsored by Magic Production Group’s new Startup Package of videos.  As you may know, Magic is the company that powers this whole show.  And we’ve put together something that we hope will further support for the startup community here in Dallas.

We all know about the power and importance of using video in our marketing wheelhouse.  It’s critical for a startup to communicate quickly and visually what they do and whom they serve.

Well now, we’ve made it a little bit easier to make that happen for you.

Whether it’s an animated explainer video, a company profile video, or an authority-building segment on the American Ventures interview program, you get to kickstart your video brand presence quickly.  And for a very manageable price.

Also, if you’re in the Dallas area and you want to meet up, you can join me in North Dallas at the Coffee House Cafe every Tuesday morning at 8am for the Dallas Open Coffee Club where my co-host, Aimee Bentson and I host an hour of talking tech, startups and digital lifestyle.  You can find us on Meetup.com and search BigDOCC.  If you’re closer to downtown, this group’s founder, Michael Sitarzewski hosts his Tuesday morning meeting at 1700 Pacific.  And for those of you in other parts of DFW, there are coffee clubs now in Downtown Arlington, Oak Cliff, Fort Worth, Irving/Las Colinas, Southlake and Denton.  If you hit any of these, you’ll meet and get to know some great folks in the startup community. 

Alright. You know what time it is - Let’s go start something!
