I’d like to tell you about a cool new startup company that I just found out about. It’s called TiXiT (www.tixitbox.com). They provide regular folks in Columbus with great discounts on tickets to sports, music and theatre. They are able to do this by negotiating last minute discounts with promoters on seats that likely would not have sold.

I recently had a chance to sit down with the Founder, Dave Cherry to learn more about the company.

Alvin: So how did you come up with the idea for TiXiT?

The other day I ventured out to the Hills Market for a Small Business Beanstalk event introducing Worthington to the wonders of the SBB card (which I’ll have to write a post about soon).

I’m glad I went, since I was introduced to Pamela Loch of Little Rosie’s. She makes some amazing Filipino salad dressing that has to be tasted to believe. I got the Filipino, which is a dressing “artfully blended with Asian and Spanish influences creating a distinctive flavor of soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, onion, cider vinegar and oil; tangy with a hint of sweet & spices.”

Entrepreneurs are part of the fabric of our nation's history, and it is precisely the innovators and creative individuals who advance humanity, and Ephren Taylor is just one of these people. Anyone who is looking to tap into the entrepreneur's spirit should look into the recent CNN interview with Ephren Taylor. Two of his biggest pieces of advice are to not be afraid, and also to be persistent.

Good thing I didn’t say I was boycotting Columbus. Otherwise I couldn’t go to the Cornhole All-Stars Launch Party tomorrow night.
