Finding Gandhi

Every now and again I find myself itchin' to unplug, back away, and shake out. This means travel and it generally entails leaving a perfectly good job. In good faith, its tempered by finding a replacement so the employment transition is smooth.

I just spent fourteen months donating time and sweat to Powermand, Inc and now more than ever, my legs need a good stretch. Hence, the procurement of tickets to India and Nepal.

Powermand, however, isn't like most jobs I've walked away from. I actually have a significant interest in it's success as I've "invested" a lot of cash in the form of unpaid salary, aka stock. It also happened to be one of the coolest jobs I've had. I also want to work there again.

So the replacement needed to be top-notch. Stakes are higher this time around and as I applied for my visa to India, we recruited a well-known java guru: Gandhi. (We knew someone that knew him.)

So, now I take my leave and make my pilgrimage.

Watch my investment, Prashant Gandhi, my faith is in you.
