I started my first business in 1993, right in the middle of the recession, because I didn’t know any better. Around 2007, the subprime mortgage crisis contributed to a recession that lasted through 2009. Founded in 2006, Techstars ran our first startup accelerator in 2007. This recession lasted until 1994. Fear and panic set in.

Nowadays, the company employs over 35,000 staff, and owns 948 pubs and hotels.

We got married in 1993. Amy and I have been talking about writing this book since 2007. My wife Amy Batchelor and I wrote this one, with contributions from about 20 other entrepreneurial couples. Amy and I have been friends since we met in college in 1984. We have been together as a couple since 1990. Our marriage almost ended in 2001.

Bob Minor wasn’t an equal partner financially, and may not have been all that valuable as a contributor and manager past the start-up period — but he was a partner nonetheless until the day he died (which was in 1992 or 1993, if I recall correctly).

I first thought of raving fans when I read Ken Blanchard’s book by the same name in 1993 when I was CEO of Feld Technologies (my first company).
