Starting The Conversation Group with Ted Shelton and Giovanni Rodriguez in the early summer of 2007 will probably be one of my fondest company foundings of my life. I have learned a great deal and grown in ways I never imagined and I am grateful for having this opportunity.
The story behind this decision is quite simple really, I have a lot of other opportunities I want to pursue right now and it is time to move on and pursue them (or rather one of them in particular that is quite exciting). I have been really fortunate to work with some great people at TCG – I would say I am going to miss them, but I expect to still see them quite a bit so I won’t. Over the next month or so, we will be transitioning slowly but I needed to make this announcement now so I can start working on the other opportunities in earnest.
What am I doing next? Well, it won’t be stealthy too long, but I am not prepared to share that yet. I will have some more to share tomorrow morning and if things work out, more to share later in the week.

Whoa, Nelly! This is a big surprise – when we spoke on Saturday, I had no idea you were changing gears. Keep me in the loop.

Wow Chris. Have to admit that I didn’t expect to read this, but I’m sure you’re following your bliss and that’s always a good thing.

Was really kind of sad when I went by to pick up my laptop stand and keyboard to move it over to Citizen Space today, but I have so many great friends from TCG – am very fortunate we hired such smart people who are fun too. Am definitely going to miss hanging with each of you – at least I get to see you on 2nd street and at parties…
