Five years ago, I was invited to give a presentation to a group of entrepreneurs and small business leaders in a program series entitled “Meeting of the Minds” The host of the program, local entrepreneur Annie Singh-Quern, told me that I could talk about anything. I decided to make mine more personal—some might say I was even vulnerable that night. You see, the conventional entrepreneurial wisdom is “fake it until you make it.” I believe most people crave authenticity.
