Road to Innovation

Rich Kleinert - From Gummi Bears to Coffee Concepts

It's been nine years since Rich Kleinert left his Bay Area industrial job of almost twenty years to become his own boss. But it took him only two weeks to decide to give notice after his wife saw a coffee cart business for sale in Santa Cruz, CA.   

Rich operates Coffee Concepts as a Northern California mobile business where he covers conferences, such as the She's Geeky 2008 Unconference where he kept the lattes and cappuccinos flowing to local weddings and office parties.

Conversation with Bob Heckerl, Coach of the Airwaves

I was able to catch Bob Heckerl, Founder and President of Coach of the Airwaves Worldwide Internet Radio, during a recent visit to California from his home in Seoul, Korea.

Bob knows a thing or two about risk and reinvention having done his fair share of both from packing up and moving with his family to Seoul twelve years ago to his dream last year of how he might bring coaches together, from around the world, to form a community that would spread coaching to all areas of the planet via internet broadcasting.
