Today, I met Jack, a former hobo from the east side who turned everything around when he got some seed money by threatening to cut a passer-by with a rusty can of beans. Less than a minute later, he used this to bootstrap his run-anywhere cloud access application, 'Beanstalk', which went on to make him the success he is today. There's a lesson in this for other entrepreneurs: are you hungry for success like Jack? Have you considered using every resource at your disposal, even a rusty can of beans?
