What’s the best thing about running a company in Pittsburgh and the worst thing?
I’m originally from Washington, D.C., where, even as a kid, I had a strong sense that there were people and places close by that would not likely be available to me. In Pittsburgh, I’ve been encouraged by how much access a young entrepreneur like me can gain. Everyone seems one-person removed and, more importantly, willing to give of their time and resources. This willingness has been essential to Skill-Life’s growth thus far. In some ways, I’m concerned that this small world effect will have its limits. It seems possible that we will in time have exhausted the opportunities to be gained locally. At this point, however, we’ve only just begun digging deeper and Pittsburgh continues to show us its bridges.
