On being remarkable
Fall was just starting to encroach on summer, with a crispness in the air that was consuming the gentle peel of merlot grapes. As Wynn and I drove 200 miles west of Durham, towards the vineyards in Yadkin Valley, I wasn’t thinking about work. The fourteen hour days at Duke, seemed distant. We were there to relax, unwind and dream unencumbered by the stress of practical things.
As we drove through I-77, we saw trees wearing shades of green that i hadn’t seen before. From lime to amber, as they tried to escape the tyranny of winter. But it was a good day, bright but not warm; cool, but not chilly. A good day to dream.
That’s when the realization dawned: What if an online marketplace could be used for social good?
Won’t that be remarkable.
