I'm in LA as well (live in Brentwood, work in Santa Monica). If anyone here from LA wants to grab coffee sometime on the Westside shoot me an e-mail at jon at learnoutloud dot com and tell me a little bit about yourself (e.g., what you do, what you're passionate about, etc.). I'd love to connect with other Pavlina fans!
Here's a little about me:
The founder of LearnOutLoud, Jon Bischke, has a successful entrepreneurial track record. Mr. Bischke previously founded the 2000Tutor.com Network (currently CertTutor.net), a collection of websites that assisted individuals seeking Microsoft and Cisco certification. The company had a successful exit when it was acquired in 2001 by Penton Media, a public company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. As part of its parent company the network continued to grow and currently serves the needs of over 115,000 technology professionals. More recently, Mr. Bischke received his Masters in Business Administration from the UCLA Anderson School of Management and served as the President of Zaadz, Inc., a Los Angeles-based social networking company.
