138 Mike Schiller, a Serial Entrepreneur talks Lessons Learned Along the Way

Mike was most recently the CEO at Green Building Alliance, and was previously the founder of Confluence, Venture Outdoors, and Kayak Pittsburgh.   For the past decade, the Room Leopard team has been searching for places to hold classes, meetings, networking events and lectures. We found this process frustrating and we often depended on our personal network of colleagues and friends. We also noticed the surplus of spaces around the city that owners could utilize more actively. RoomLeopard strives to make it easier to match these unused spaces with the people who need them.   As a guest, be it an hour or a day, RoomLeopard is the spot to connect you with affordable spaces for your next meeting or event.   As a host, be it a conference room, a lobby or an auditorium, RoomLeopard is the spot to put surplus spaces to work for you.   Mike’s Challenge; Invite some people into your home that you normally wouldn’t have over.   Quote from our Interview “Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back — concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans:   that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.   Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.“   ~ Goethe   Connect with Mike LinkedIn Website [email protected]   If you liked this interview, check out episode 3 with Larry Gioia, another outdoorsman and entrepreneur.
