About Me

My photo
John Hall
I have had a long career of duct-taping things together to reach a defined result. Sometimes for my employer and sometimes for an investor. This includes entire organizational structures, processes, and market opportunities as well as technology. Least amount of pain for maximum gain. Just start that clock w/ a TRS-80 Model III and sloooowly roll it fwd through the 1980s-Present and you can guess how many rolls of organizational duct-tape I have gone through. While I list my favorite book on my full profile, it is mainly because I was previously directly engaged on a team causing some of these kinds of outcomes. The scope of the damage caused by myself and others like me will be a societal debt I will be paying the interest on for the rest of my days.
