Congratulations to Eric Tung, a former undergrad student of mine from my adjunct lecturing days at The University of Texas at Austin, for winning the Jackson 5ive video! It’s strange to know that my former students already have kids of their own, and he has far surpassed his Intro to Entrepreneurship teacher in the world of social media!
There is much going on and my entrepreneurial life juggle has (again) taken precedence over blogging, so I leave you with these interesting reads:

There have been some interesting articles floating around about women and our roles in business and leadership lately. I’ve posted a few on facebook and wanted to share here:
Richard Branson on Why We Need More Women in the Boardroom (a.k.a. 12 Angry Men) – Entrepreneur
Sheryl Sandberg’s Radically Realistic ‘And’ Solution for Working Mothers – The Atlantic
Are our colleges equipping women to be leaders? – Washington Post
Why I Was Never a “Feminist” – Stealthmode
Why Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer’s work from home ban is the wrong approach – The American CEO
4 Reasons Marissa Mayer’s No-At-Home-Work Policy Is an Epic Fail – Forbes
Yahoo Orders Home Workers Back to the Office – New York Times
The Most Powerful Women in Tech – 2012 – Forbes
There are have been many advancements to support women in the workplace and yet women still don’t have equal representation in many areas of senior leadership. For the first time ever, women are earning more college degrees than men. Yet at the senior level of most organizations, women are not very visible (i.e., “heard”) and sometimes their actions are deeply scrutinized by both men and women. It seems to be the ongoing price of progress, and I’m glad I’m living in the year 2013 versus 50 to 100 years ago. I think women have clearly demonstrated their value in the market place…now if they could earn equal pay for equal work across all job functions, that would be another step in the right direction…
To those men and women who take the time to teach women and young girls how to be leaders and provide them support as well as access to your networks to help them grow and learn from their failures & mistakes, thank you for your foresight, interest, and encouragement! “Give a man/woman a fish, he/she eats for a day. Teach them how to fish, they can eat for a lifetime.”
