After the success of 3Com, which became a multi-billion dollar company, he tried many other careers. He was a journalist, a VC, and a professor. And now, he is looking for his next job. https://okdork.com/podcast/245 Use this link to get 10% off at checkout on AppSumo: https://appsumo.com/?coupon=noah10&code=noah10
