We asked Catharine Merigold, General Partner of Vista Ventures, "What are the three biggest challenges facing entrepreneurs?" Catharine offered some poignant advice which explains why she is a returning judge of the upcoming Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year program.

294_ Virtually Real Time Social Networking
Today when people think of Social Networking it's probably sites like “My Space” or “You Tube” and millions of Blogs. These are an asynchronous way of communicating with the world around us. We might post profiles about ourselves, the things we like to do and conversations begin to form, but they’re not in real time and they’re not about what we are interested in at that moment. Terry Morreale, producer of the Women in IT channel discusses the future with Carol Stimmel, Director of Special Products, Medium.

288_ Golden Sauce That's Usable, Powerful & Motivating
“I am really very relentless. I go over it and over it until I find what I want. I really look at every ‘no’ I get as the first step to a ‘yes’, says Lucy Sanders, CEO and CoFounder of the National Center for Women & Information Technology. Lucy works with enterprise size companies as well as new startups and focuses on getting women and girls into Information Technology in its broadest sense at NCWIT.org. Lucy sets high standards for her self first and later sets high standards for others. “And at the same time I have incredibly high forgiveness. So if the bar is high, then there should be a safety net. People should not be made to feel bad if they can’t quite climb over that high bar. It’s just that if you set it really high, there’s always going to be learning,” she points out. Lucy offers more sage advice.

287_ Higher Yearning with Hank Brown
The snow settles on the spindly tree branches on the still University of Boulder campus this February morning, while inside the Wolf Law building, Hank Brown drills the students who have braved the previous night’s storm to attend his legislative law class. And frequently, there’s that Hank Brown moment, the wry grin and smiling eyes that signal the humorous zinger he’s about to deliver. It is the same smile he used with a special Republican joint Senate-House caucus on Capitol Hill earlier that month, when in lobbying for increased money for higher education.
