  • The Baby’s Book of Becoming a Billionaire

  • Alan Webber, the founding co-editor of Fast Company Magazine: Lessons in starting a magazine that sold for more than $300 million.

  • Do grades matter?

  • Will Vonage survive?

Meet Vicky Carlson, the CEO and owner of Office Pavilion, one of San Diego's largest office furniture companies, and learn how she rose from receptionist to CEO.

"Certainly in my career I had noticed the glass ceiling, and in my experiences there was always a male counterpart who got paid more," Vicky says. "Part of my drive in owning my own business was to get around that, and I didn't let that get in my way." Vicky also talks about how her business survived the "2000" economic downturn.

The Baby introduces some of the rules in the “Baby’s Book of Becoming a Billionaire.”

  • Rule #289: Customer service is absolutely critical and is not easy to do well and needs to be practiced 24x7. It makes all the difference in the world, and do not pooh pooh it.

  • Rule #197: In order to be an entrepreneurial organization, it is important to push decision making down to the lowest levels in order to solve problems for the customer as quickly as possible.

  • Rule #81: There is always, always a competitor coming around the corner.

Alan Webber, the founding co-editor of Fast Company magazine, shares the story of the magazine’s start and eventual sale for more than $300 million.

Jim Anderson, the iconoclastic editor of Silicon Valley Bank’s Investment Strategy Outlook newsletter, questions whether Vonage will survive.
