Story:
|
I’ve been online since the 1980’s. Being a fan of Prophets like Tom Peters I knew where this whole online communication thing was going. In the 1980’s I merged my company with the Indy record company of a friend of mine. We knew what the future of music distribution was to become and waited for technology to catch up with our vision. On the first day that it was technically possible for a sub dollar transaction on the Internet, our site was ready and waiting and in 1996 we sold the first sub dollar file via the Internet. An Mp3 of Louis Armstrong singing “Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve seen”.
I will continue to break ground and help change the face of the Internet.

Difference:
|
If everyone started using our email service today, the spammers would be out of business today.

|
Passion:
|
Being part of the evolution of the Internet. Right now the Internet is just starting the crawling phase of life. I will enjoy watching it learn to walk, then run and hopefully it will reach puberty in my lifetime. Seamless virtual reality communication no matter where you are. Thats when things will REALLY start to get interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1Nxfnv06ug

Inspiration:
|
1) Anyone who started out with nothing and became a success of their own fruition.
2) An article I read by Jaron Lanier in the mid 1980's irrevocably changed the direction of my life.

|
Motivation:
|
Every morning for the last 25 years, I listen to one of the above: Napoleon Hill, Tom Peters, Tony Robbins, Stephen Covey, Linda Chandler, Lester Brown, Wayne Dyer, Zig Ziegler and many, many more.
|
|
Success:
|
In 1996 my idea came to fruition when our company Emusic.com sold the first downloadable music file via the Internet.
|
|
Challenge:
|
Losing millions of $'s in the Dot Com crash.
Lesson learned: diversify.
How I got through it: lots of therapy :)
|
|
Advice:
|
Choose something that you are so passionate about that you would do it for free. You might very well have to, many times.
If you are a person who quits when times get tough, get a job and play the lottery.

Calling:
|
Absolutely. I started my first company in the 1980's and in 1995 I was co-founder to Emusic.com. We made Internet history by selling the first downloadable music file via the Internet.

Keywords:

spam free email

|
Business Model:
|
From our free email users we generate revenue from our ads. The real money maker however is licensing our intellectual property to every company in the world. Fighting spam costs companies over $17 per year per email account. A company the size of Ebay would save around 5 million dollars a year.
Even if we licensed our technology for 1 million a year, they would save 4 million a year. Times that by every company in the world, and you can see the value of our company.
|
|
Pain:
|
Remove email spam without the fallibility of filters. Filters are not only a never ending arms race between the spammers and the filters, but emails get caught/lost that the recipient wanted.
Not only can we help the individual email user, but currently companies spend around 50 Billion dollars a year combating spam. We have a solution for this.
