ActionsTalk Blog

This week we spoke at Bucketworks in front of the largest Spreenkler crowds yet.  Stop what you’re doing, right now, and watch this timelapse video of the meeting.  Great job KeVroN!  We hope to see everyone at the next Spreenkler in October.

Tonight I met up with Tim and Jess of Teecycle.org at their home.  Great people!!  Tim walked me through the idea behind Teecycle, his used T-shirt business and even asked me to model one of the shirts for thier newsletter.  All in all a great interview, so look for it soon!  And check out Teecycle.org in the meantime.

Tonight ActionsTalk met up with beYou.tv for a startup spotlight. The team of just 3 out of NYC will be hard at work this Labor Day weekend but took the time to chat with ActionsTalk. Thanks again to the beYou.tv team!

In the meantime check out beYou.tv and look for the startup spotlight in a few weeks!

Recently the startup incubator TechStars based in Boulder, CO graduated another class of promising startups. ActionsTalk has reached out to a few of the recently graduated companies for a few startup spotlights. We are already scheduling interviews with BuyPlayWin and ignighter.

Look for more great startup spotlights at ActionsTalk and let me know if you are (or know of) a startup that is worthy and interested in being spotlighted!

This is just a short example of the hard work that the TechStars put in over the summer. If I catch a bug in any of your sites I’m blaming this LipDub video. Great work on the very promising companies.

I had some great interviews last night with Tristan O’Tierney of Tapulous and James, Jenn, Kevin, and Patrick of Bucketworks.  I’m editing both videos right now.

episode #7: Bucketworks
episode #8: Amateur Endurance
episode #9: Milwaukee Fashion Week

Cheers,

Next step… add to the site and future vids

This week you can look forward to a new AT interview with AmateurEndurance.com, a startup out in San Diego.  We’ll probably post it on Thursday.

We’ve already filmed the vid for the next interview as well, which features Milwaukee Fashion Week.  For that one, we met up with Hillary at the Pfister hotel spa, downtown Milwaukee.

Possible interviews this week include (for future shows) include the founder of BucketWorks (The World’s First Health Club for the Brain), and one of the lead developers of Twinkle (an iPhone application).

Stay tuned!

We’re establishing this blog to talk about what’s going on behind the scenes at ActionsTalk.  We’ll be using this as a place to talk about our direction, upcoming interviews that excite us, Milwaukee, etc.  We want to keep the main site strictly focused on the actual interviews.  Enjoy!
