  • Category Admin

    Thanks to Armenian Eagle’s Category Converter I was able to easily do something I’ve wanted to do for a while: clean-up the categories on Disruptive Thoughts. It was straight forward and easy to use.

I am a co-founder of Innovation Night, a community driven event supporting entrepreneurship in Canadian and US cities.

Here's what I'm doing right now:
