AVOIDING PEOPLE BECAUSE OF PAST FAILURES I was recently in Iceland for the inaugural Startup Iceland event. Although I had no specific reason to go, my wife, Amy, and I had never been to Iceland and we figured it would be fun to go hang out, see Reykjavik, and meet a bunch of entrepreneurs. We had an awesome time, saw a fascinating country, and met a community of people energized around entrepreneurship, partially as a result of the spectacular economic collapse that Iceland recently had, which caused many people to hit reset and start over.
