		<description>I have just seen this post and like everyone else commenting here, am in awe of such a precocious talent. It is great news in these days of doom and gloom that a 17 year old shows the intelligence and charisma to succeed in his chosen area.</description>

		<description>Josh,

Thanks for your comment and nice words. I will create a pitch video and upload. Talking about video, I will send you information on a new cool communication tool called Talk Fusion. It is video email messages with a nice frame with a picture, contact information and your company&#039;s logotype or graphical profile.</description>

		<description>Martin, 

Dragons Den isn&#039;t nearly as addictive as the Apprentice UK. But the dragons do help fund a lot of great startups, I haven&#039;t been following this series at all!

In concerns to your profile at Vator.tv, just try uploading a 60 sec video pitch and watch the magic happen, I have seen a lot of  companies gain great momentum through people watching their video pitch. Maybe it will work for you, just try it out and see what results you get.

Best of luck with everything you do,

		<description>Josh,

Welcome back! Small Business Trends is a great place to hang out at and learn new stuff. How popular is Dragons&#039; Den in the UK? 

I created my profile on Vator.tv some time ago, but I haven&#039;t uploaded my pitch yet. https://www.vator.tv/user/show/MartinLindeskog</description>

		<description>Very nice, everyone in this community of people are extremely insightful and it has been a pleasure viewing some of the discussion you guys talk about on other posts. Expect to be seeing me around here, quite a lot!

		<description>Holy cow - I take the day off from the office for  a meeting and all kinds of conversation goes on without me!  First, I forgot to respond to Gail about results.  I will keep an eye out and let you know here about the winner.

Bianca, I think you expressed out loud what all the rest of us are feeling - man, I may have still been playing with my Barbie dolls at 17 :)  

I can remember my Dad telling me that in our life time we will experience three entirely different careers.  Josh is starting his at 17 and when he hits 27 or 37 he may find that his interests take him down another path.  I know that has happened for me.  And at 50-something (oh, that hurts to type) I have enjoyed multiple successes and hope for great things yet to come.  

I guess we all have to just be thankful for the energy and focus we have today and continue to be excited about the contributions we can make going forward and cheer on those around us who are doing the same.  

It&#039;s Friday - it&#039;s sunny - and frankly I think we are ALL pretty impressive.</description>

		<description>Hello there everyone,

Wow, what a great response. I am certainly glad to see this much excitment has been created around the competition, I noted a lot of you have business blogs. If any of you keep in touch with any UK startups, please send them over to the competition. And of course please do take the time to vote for your favourite company, it will help make our numbers more evenly spread as we draw towards the final week of the competition.

Thanks once again for including this story on the site

		<description>Deborah,

Pretty impressive isn&#039;t it?

Young minds always bulging with idea and creativity, that, interestingly, are often suppressed when we grow into adulthood.  What a pity!

If adult entrepreneurs took risk and think like Josh, there would be many more successful business these days.

Cheers!</description>
