How cycling the world trained me to be a lean startup entrepreneur

Captura De Pantalla 2012-08-23 A Las 20.30.38

Hola chicos! If you've been following my pick-a-path adventure, you'll know I've been voted to pause the cycling and work in Argentina for a while. It means I get to eat loads of medialunas and buzz around the awesome city of Buenos Aires on my bicycle Meg. Plus, I am wearing more hats than I have heads,  working as the marketing director for an exciting internet startup company called HomeViva

So what's this funny looking youtube video all about then?

I have applied to be a speaker at the Lean Startup Conference in San Francisco (the same city you voted I cycle UP Lombard Street earlier this year) and this is my submission video.

From traffic on the road, to traffic on my blog, I have lots of learnings that apply to starting a lean business.

I have fingers and toes crossed, hoping they choose me to get up on stage and share my unique Indi spin. If you want to give me an extra push, check out the video and leave a comment. Cheers guys!

A big thank you to Sarah Athanas who filmed and directed my submission. It was a law-breaking, exhilarating time as we had whistles blown on us for doing the unthinkable, taking a bicycle into the rose garden.
