Do you listen to trusted people you hired? In this episode, Taffy talks about how his experiences is reflected in his blog, a recent column written about listening leadership and finally the five stages of mourning people go through when suddenly ousted from a company.

We attended the 5th SF Japan Night by btrax on March 5. Six great startups from Japan presented and gave us a glimpse of what Japanese startups are all about. Learning seemed to be the hot button.

ShareWis let's visually tracks you learning via a  concept map or  knowledge map and allows you to add to the learning community with your own video lectures.

The Upgraded Focus Brain Trainer includes a headband with small red and infrared LED lights that shine through the skin and skull to assess the color of brain tissue; light is reflected back to a spectrophotometer that measures the exact color of oxygenated arterial blood. The headband then sends your brain's data to your computer so you can get feedback in real time* ... and hack your circulation! *Real time is within the critical 350 ms window required for training your nervous system effectively.
