Build it… and they will come.

by Stephanie 02.26.2010

So yeah, we hit a rough patch, lol. But it was a good experience to have early on, to learn that we were mature enough to disagree fiercely, vent freely, then kiss, make up, and move on.
So back to work we went.
The key component of our “launch” as a company was to build [...]

You’re Not Supposed to Say That in A Power Summit!

by James 02.25.2010

“F*ck you!” Stephanie screamed at me. Damn. I was waiting for her head to twist around. So much evil in that pretty little face! Ms. Nature Lover basically ripped me into confetti, all because we disagreed on a few words for my latest blog Working Together: Smart, Dumb or Just Plain Crazy? The words that [...]

Buh, Bye Honeymoon…

by Stephanie 02.24.2010

***Back to our regularly scheduled programming***
To be honest, I didn’t want to host that second Power Summit in late January. James and I had actually planned to escape to Tahoe that weekend for some much needed R & R away from Pantheon stuff, so when Omar offered to fly out, my first thought was [...]

Do You Know the Way to San Jose?

by Omar 02.23.2010

Just one month into 2010 and two months since the birth of TPC and I was as nervous as a pre-wedding groom. I’d made the commitment, but now I had to show up and do my best to keep this relationship progressing with each passing day. Only problem was–my first marriage ended in [...]

The Second Power Summit

by TPC 02.22.2010

January 29-31, 2010
So there we were, six weeks into our venture and waist-deep in goals, plans, and tasks. There were several items on the near-term agenda that required in-person consultation (such as discussing financing and partnership agreements), so Omar decided to fly out to Cali again at the end of January for our Second [...]

Getting down to BUSINESS

by Omar 02.19.2010

I left the First Power Summit with my marching orders firmly in hand. I needed to lay the foundation for our company – the business plan. There is a Portuguese expression that best expresses my feeling in this moment, “frio na barriga” which literally translates “cold in the belly”.
Well, my guts had [...]

You’re My Obsession

by James 02.18.2010

Obsession: Domination of thoughts or feelings by a persistent idea, image or desire.
I can relate. I’ve created my own requiem for a dream. I call my obsession “The Pantheon Collective Syndrome” (TPCS). TPCS nibbles on my brain like a Freddy Krueger-like virus of the cerebral cortex. But the “virus” affects me day and night.
The addiction [...]

Polishing the Product

by Stephanie 02.17.2010

At our first power summit, after we settled on the name Pantheon, we came up with this analogy of the three pillars, each holding up a side of the company. Each pillar is strong on its own, but without one, the whole structure crumbles. One of the first things we needed to do [...]

Getting to Work!

by TPC 02.16.2010

So we had vision, passion, and commitment. We’d assembled a competent and committed team. And now we even had a name, an identity, the beginnings of a brand. The lingering question was: how were we going to get it all done?
The first thing we did was set a standing weekly meeting time. Then we needed [...]
