David,

I had such an experience. Investments that go up as the stock market goes up and stay up when the stock market tanks? WHOA, That is too much. Investments involve risk of loss and most people see lots of losses. I studied. I took classes. WOW, or more like OH WOW, this is real, and this is revolutionary. HMMM, where does this lead? This is the future of investing for almost everyone. I will leave Warren Buffett and David Berkus out. They are doing very well on their own. But for the rest of us, this is the path to financial power. YES, and now, my path is to empower others financially.

I remember two such moments. The first was when I first saw Mosaic, in 94, while I was a faculty member at Emory University. After seeing it, I walked round and round the campus, ideas spinning, sure that this was going to change everything.

The second was when I saw the short, 5 minute, Android operating system video in Feb/March of 08. It was another Mosaic moment, because it was going to knock down the walled garden built by the handset makers, and I went to work immediately on a mobile startup.
