Buddy Princeton on Balboa Island

Buddy Princeton explains the origin of founding Spectrum Jockey's Productions, his strategic alliances, and string of "firsts" in technology, and his continuing remarkable visibility on the Internet. Ever read the book Wizard of Oz? Nobody reads the book, they see the movie. If you control the bandwidth, by getting it cheaper, and use optimal search engine words as your business name you're going to grow geometrically forever. I had the second highest math SAT score in the nation in 1971, a 790. Bill Gates had an 800. We met in business about 20 years later. My mentor from IBM, Brooks Freeman, was the manager of the North American computing division when they invented the 9300 computer. I was raising capital to do the first broadband in the United States. Bill was writing code at Microsoft. I wanted to learn music and play music and not code, so raising the money on the front end was the big hit, and it works over. We created 550 million dollars worth of companies in 6 years. Ahh, the go go 90s! Did I mention that, because of the tech crash engineered by George Bush by cutting off credit for the internet, I lost 36 and 1/2 million dollars worth of Regulation S stock on a 2-year-old from her IPO. It was 6 months short of being liquid. It took a long time to get rid of THAT PAIN. When people talk to me about gambling or something when they went to Vegas I just laugh. In 25 years I did three startups, the odds are that even existing businesses, 1 out of 40 last 5 years. We, I raising 625,000 of the original million dollar private placement, put two Internet companies on the NASDAQ,. United broadband International, or UBNT, maxed out at 500 million. Just Web It, the first registry,and free website builder, when are the pink sheets on the NASDAQ 44 million market cap. In 2007, we funded Pogo Moonga a healthy beverage , to use the internet for marketing, and it got into a deal for 10 million profit in 4 years. I only do music now, and I want to try to make more than I made on the internet! The fun part is it doesn't matter if I don't make money, I have everything I need and always was going to play music instead of writing code or working a regular job. Work hard, play hard, try to play more than you work. Only work at what you love. Then you'll do amazing things because you think you can.
