Jordy - Interim GM Ordinaire and Part-Time Schemer
It’s now been over 3 weeks since I left my job at Overstock. These days I’m working in the souvenir industry as an interim general manager for my brother Jason. It’s sort of like a project manager position since my main focus is to setup systems to run the business more efficiently, but there’s a lot to do besides.
My brother’s company (Western Star) designs, manufactures, imports, and distributes souvenirs in the US, Canada, and Puerto Rico.
It’s odd to take a step away from the internet technology industry, but I’ll still be meddling in tech. Plus, the pay is right, and the lack of commute is splendid. Entrepreneurship and tech are where the business portion of my heart is, but to start something successful you need (besides talent, etc) either money or time. Hopefully this project will give me a little more of both so I can find success in yet another business I’m scheming in the evenings.

Well, I’m last to know again. No one tells me anything anymore.

Glad to hear it Jordy. Entrepreneurship and tech are overrated. Best of luck with your new gig!
