My entrepreneurial past appeared on New Year’s Eve like a ghost visiting Ebenezer Scrooge. There it was, as plain as the tuna tacos I was eating at a local hot spot, although perhaps tinted by rose-colored glasses (like the blood orange margarita I wished I had ordered, too).

The agency I run, Havas PR North America, had just won a new client: LehighSiliconValley. I’d gotten an email offering us a new challenge from this incredible program that runs each January, created to take Lehigh University’s best and brightest, those associated with its Baker Institute for Entrepreneurship, Creativity and Innovation, on a learning trip to what it considers the hub of entrepreneurship.
