Tim Williamson, CEO of The Idea Village in New Orleans, can make anything – even the most unbelievable of things – sound exciting. He’s quite convincing, turning the most cynical into believers. If you’ve met him, you’ve drank the Kool-Aid. It tastes like whisky and entrepreneurship in New Orleans, and he has spent the past 15 years perfecting his elevator pitch.
Here is the craziest part: no matter how insane his pitches have sounded over the past 15 years, his ideas have had a way of being actualized. When they do, the next pitch becomes even more unbelievable.
