We are so fortunate to get a chance to sit down and have a coffee with these amazing people. Whether a musician or a founder, the journeys are so similar, yet so different. In every case though, perseverance, boosters and commitment are clearly ingredients that drive success.

Teachers Can Be Founders Too with Tim Moher, Bestival Founder
Dreams don’t just happen, they evolve. Tim had no idea where his music would take him, or if it would take him. Many musicians end up teaching, which is what Tim Moher did with the local school board, but it was a chance opportunity that saw him build a powerful voluntary music program that ultimately served over a thousand kids. The program he established and the stars that came out of it are testimony to the strength of community and fuel that it produces. After retiring from education, Tim wasn’t done. He went on to found Bestival using the same core ideologies that made him successful in the past. This is truly a lesson in making innovative things happen in very old organizations.

WTF is FML?
As promised, after six episodes, we said we would evaluate where we were and update you on our development. The first six episodes we were fortunate to have some brilliant minds provide great insights that helped us in our journey. Some would say this is the research phase. That said, research is not a phase but an ongoing journey and our journey is not only informative, its a real adventure, much like Ed's 60 year old jeep. Please enjoy our elevator pitch as we ride up the tallest building in the world! Special warning for Aunt Anne and Mary-Jo, we say the f-bomb a couple times ;-)
