<p><strong>Shownotes:</strong></p>
<p>In this show, we focus on the state of entrepreneurship in Georgia.  What TAG initiatives are there to support and promote entrepreneurship?  What trends are there? How does TAG&#8217;s Entrepreneurial Society differentiate itself from other, similar groups in Georgia?</p>
<p>Tune in and find out!</p>
<p>Our format is a little out of the norm as far as podcasts go. We treat our efforts as a true &#8220;show&#8221; rather than a super-concise (limited) vehicle for delivery of information. Therefore, the podcasts can run a bit long. While we try to have very substantive discussions, we also try to have a lot of fun along the way (and that tends to elongate the programming a wee bit.) <img src='http://www.startuplounge.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Our theory is that if we are having fun during the show, hopefully, you will be having a little fun listening as well.</p>
