12 Drinks of Christmas: Day #3 Conway Family Wines Give You a New Spin for Holidays!
While I get carried away with cocktails, wines are still part of the mix in my pantry, bar and also what I often drink when I go out.

While we are standing in this wobbly middle ground — watching the global markets shift as well as that of the nation, it’s often hard to realize what’s really important to know what are the critical or tipping point issues. As seen in part one, it’s often best to talk to someone who has a truly “global” view of the business landscape. One such person happens to be Thomas Turney, managing principal in NewCap Partners.

Comments ClosedThe Intersection of Technology, Start-ups, the Economy & Education According to New Cap’s Thomas Turney. Podcast #1
This post is a re-post from Defevere.com. Gray Defevere introduced me to one of the Directors of the So Cal Tech Group who is very much into the “start-up” space– particularly since he is the managing partner of a private bank.
