Where does yesterday's future, which is already here, really here, really here, meet today's future, which is about to happen, and tomorrow's future, which could be just minutes away?

Welcome to Technology Revolution, the future of now.

Here's your host who will take us into the future of now.

Bonnie D. Graham.

Yes, indeed.

Thank you to Ryan Treasurer, the voice of our intro, VP of Operations and Voice America Radio. I'm Bonnie D. in the house and we've got an exciting show for you.

Anybody who's ever had an idea about a new widget, that's what we used to call it back in the day.

A new service, a new product is when should I start a business? Do I go to my family, my friends,

my fools and ask them for money to start a startup? Will the world love it? Will I be a success?

Will I make money? Will I pay off my shareholders? Oh my goodness or will I have to close in six

to 12 months and be terribly embarrassed and very broke? Well, we're going to talk about the future

of startups today. I have four

experts. I'm calling them my startup gurus on the show with me. Let me give you a couple of buzz

quotes to open and then I will introduce my panel. So I have a quote from the song, You Can Fly,

from Peter Pan, the 1953 animated adventure fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Productions and here's the quote from

the song we can fly we can fly we can fly all it takes is faith and trust oh and something i forgot

dust dust yes a little bit of pixie dust oh my just let that sink in is that what it takes to be a

successful startup then have a quote from Dave

Thomas. You may remember Wendy's. He's the founder. You may still be eating Wendy's. Here we go.

What do you need to start a business? Three simple things. Know your product better than anyone.

Know your customer and have a burning desire to succeed. And I should say, Dave, just don't burn the burgers.
