    Kieran ... I'm ecstatic to hear your project has been fully funded.

    Your style is perfect for the topic and I can't wait to see what you and Taylor do with it.

    I'm very proud to be a small part of Spot.Us and this project.

    Thanks for the kind words and support. We taped a great interview this weekend with the Nob Hill Grille diner.

    We were quite surprised that they were doing better than expected, and the story arc is different than we had originally planned. Now we're thinking of presenting this successful small business and asking, What are they doing to succeed despite the wider economic downturn? Are they unique or are there more businesses like them doing just fine?

    I'm also open to suggestions on which businesses/industries we should focus on for the next two remaining profiles.
