To most people, entrepreneurship means being on the cutting edge of the next bubble-du-jour—creating a product that no one knows they need, getting three rounds of financing, then going under while the founders cash out.

In a fun, entertaining and energetic keynote, Scudamore outlines how anyone can approach their company and industry with the same revolutionary zeal and fervor that made his company an unlikely success.
