Ben and Jerry, best friends since 7th grade, decided they wanted to start a food business together. At first they were thinking bagels would be a good choice, but then found out they would need $40k worth of equipment.
When they settled on ice cream, they learned how to make it via a five dollar Penn State correspondence course. Since they were broke, they split the cost of one course between the two of them.
Jeremy wrote this great review in the Journal today. I highly recommend the book to anybody interested in learning about the media business. The title is more of a hook to get you to read what essentially functions as an interesting and timely media textbook.
Went to the opening of “SPiN NYC” the other night. Very cool ping pong venue in Manhattan. Worth checking out - more info here.
