On this special Friday edition of the Establishing your Empire I host Paul O’Brien.  Paul is the CEO of MediaTech Ventures, a startup advisor, author and a father of three. We discuss the impact of the cancelation of SXSW and how Funded House is not only handling the blowback but pushing forward with sessions and panels both in person and online.  Check them out in-person and online this Sunday, Monday & Tuesday.  We dive deep into the differences between startups, companies and businesses. You can also hear Paul’s take on how to get involved in the startup community, tips to get funded, advice on how to turn your idea into a startup and how to establish your empire.
