Building & Investing In Calm Companies (Tyler Tringas)

Tyler Tringas is an entrepreneur and traveler.  He's started two companies (one worked!) and now is founding Earnest Capital where he wants to help companies avoid going into $50,000 of credit card debt (like he did) to start technology companies.  We talk about how this type of investing vehicle can help transcend some of the pressures to "scale at all costs" in ways that may not be suitable for most companies.
