The specifications need more work before they can ship, but there are many startups that would have shipped them a long time ago.

[That modesty has worked well for the 47-year-old Bodenheimer, and ESPN has flourished in his seven years at the helm.

Tom has been a very effective advocate for the redistribution of resources for business startups. I would certainly say that many of us who are traditional practitioners of economic development become too narrowly focused on business recruitment when in fact the lion's share of jobs are generated through existing industry expansions and new business.
