Inspirational stories plus practical takeaways from the entrepreneurship world.

Today's guest is Geoff Cook, the founder of the Meet Group which was acquired by ProSieben for $500m. They created the popular apps of MeetMe, Tagged, Skout, LOVOO, and Tagged. He's now the Co-Ceo of the Parship Meet Group. He didn't go from 0 to $500m though and built up several companies beforehand, each one progressively larger.
