Below are the two part videos we followed before discovering the above video, the dad/daughter team do a great job of walking us step by step along with the instruction included in the packaging.

Solving a Social Problem the Tech Event Way

Image
We interview Greg Gopman about his upcoming event - Town Hall to End Homelessness . On Nerd Stalker, we normally interview Tech/Startup entrepreneurs and their products. This is the same but different. Greg is actually a tech entrepreneur turned social activist. His story is just amazing. I met Greg around four years ago when he recently arrived in San Francisco and I actually helped on his second Angel Hack event. He was going great guns, as most talented, bold entrepreneurs do, until the bottom fell out. Greg posted an insensitive post about the homeless in San Francisco on Facebook and the social media fire storm began. A common thing happening in the today's world where there are no bushes or screens to hide behind in the social world.

His event will showcase many people with many
