Dreams don’t just happen, they evolve. Tim had no idea where his music would take him, or if it would take him. Many musicians end up teaching, which is what Tim Moher did with the local school board, but it was a chance opportunity that saw him build a powerful voluntary music program that ultimately served over a thousand kids. The program he established and the stars that came out of it are testimony to the strength of community and fuel that it produces. After retiring from education, Tim wasn’t done. He went on to found Bestival using the same core ideologies that made him successful in the past. This is truly a lesson in making innovative things happen in very old organizations.

‘I want to make a difference in everything I do’, says Blake. Admittedly, not a founder, but represents the key to success that most founders fail to recognize. He was the ‘First Follower’ for Ennio and Rosa, the founders of Ennios Pasta House. To understand what a ‘First Follower’ is, search for Derek Sivers, Leadership Lessons from Dancing Guy. When Ennio started his restaurant at the age of 63 at the encouragement of church friends, he had no idea how to run a restaurant, but man did he know how to cook. Two years in, he knew he needed help, and Blake came to the rescue. This is truly what every founder needs.
