I testified at the Colorado Senate Finance Committee on a package of new tax bills known as the “Dirty Dozen.” Here is an audio of that testimony:

We are in the midst of some changes here. First off, you might notice that you’re now at RobMcNealy.com instead of StartupStoryRadio.com. Don’t worry, Startup Story Radio will carry on, but it is being joined soon by video podcasts airing from the “startup bunker.”
As a result of the shift in content and format, we decided to simplify our lives and bring everything together here under one roof.
If you encounter any problems with the site, or the podcast downloads, please let us know. As far as we can tell, the move went pretty smoothly, but there are bound to be a few problems popping up here and there. The RSS feed for our audio podcasts has remained the same, but if you subscribed to the full blog RSS feed, you’ll need to subscribe to our new feed here.
Rob McNealy interviews Nils Hammar, co-founder of Kindo, about his startup.

Nils Hammar is a Swede living in London, where he’s one of the co-founders of Kindo, a site which puts a new twist on social networking by helping families stay connected and learn about each other by letting them build and grow family trees.
Nils broke into the dot com industry working for Skype, where he took on a variety of roles, including online marketing, business development and product management. From Skype, Nils moved on to a management position in Sweden’s biggest social networking site, Lunar Storm, and served as CEO of Lunar Storm UK.
The idea behind Kindo was born in early 2007, when the Kindo founders returned back to London after spending the holidays with their families. As they shared jokes about their various family members, the concept behind Kindo, connecting families and helping them learn about each other, began to take shape.
A couple of weeks ago, I announced that I’d be speaking at EntConnect 2008, a unique “open source” type conference, where attendees get to help shape the program. At EntConnect, there will be business owners of many kinds, discussing how they got started, and helping you do the same. I’ll be one of the presenters at the conference, which takes place on March 27-30 at the Sheraton Denver West.
If you haven’t already registered for EntConnect, you can use the code ‘ssradio‘ to receive $100 off your regular admission ($50 off for youths under 21). Just head on over to the EntConnect online registration form to register now!
Starting this week, we are now offering transcripts of our shows online. So, if for some reason you can’t listen to a show or download a podcast, you can head over to the transcripts page and read the dialog instead. Right now, we have our first five transcripts up. Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be adding transcripts for all of our past radio broadcasts, so check back for new transcripts in a few days.
