Great Parent's Make Sucky CEOs - Why Startups Fail

The traits and skills that make a great parent are antithetical to successively starting, running and growing a company. Attila the Hun was better suited to be a Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates than Mother Teresa. So what can we learn from this and how can Ms. Attila the Hun grow her company to the Fortune 500 and still come home to marinate her kids in the kind of loving environment that will keep them off the FBIs most wanted list.

About Glen Hellman:

Glen is a serial entrepreneur, Angel Investor, reformed hired-gun turn-around CEO, who now helps business leaders figure out what to do and gets them to do it. He's leading a working group on Mentorship for Startup America. He created TweetDingman, the worlds first pitch your company to investor event held over twitter. He writes humorous snarky articles for Tech Cocktail. All this activity leaves him very little time to practice for his real lifetime goal of becoming an NHL Hockey Player.
