When answering the question “what are you doing now” - I like to say that “I’m a Special Forces Ambassador of God cleverly disguised as a serial, start-up entrepreneur”. I also like to say
“I’m happy to share some of the successes with you, but my failures (which I’m sorry but don’t have enough space to share here;-) are sometimes my greatest gifts to others.”
For those that were just curious you can stop reading now;-) If you feel compelled to have a bit more detail, here you go;-)

Operators:
It’s Feasible™ does not serve as the operating company for the BigIdeas it creates and primarily endeavors to license its products or services to other operating companies for commercialization.
In the event however that a BigIdea is sufficiently feasible and a strategic commercialization partner cannot be identified, It’s Feasible™ will solicit qualified and competent operators to form a separate operating company and commercialize the BigIdea.
