Erica Douglas of Simpli Hosting

At the ripe old age of 26, Erica Douglass has established, grown and sold a company and is now "temporarily retired." Erica O'Grady interviews this soon-to-be "serial entrepreneur" who was always in the right place at the right time - and sufficiently savvy to jump when presented with an opportunity. As a college student, Douglass promoted her resume on Craigslist, joined Cobalt Networks just in time to see the company launch its IPO, then in 2001 she founded Simpli Hosting, a web hosting company. This amazing young woman has the expertise of someone twice her age; this interview is a valuable listen for every entrepreneur.
