Jim Heckman

John Cook wrote a great piece on Jim Heckman here. My wife has known Jim Heckman a long time and introduced us several years ago. Several friends were investors in both Rivals and Scout. This article really touches on the main reason I think Scout was successful. Jim is one of those guys who doesn’t stop easily. He’s tenacious and he takes business success personally. He pushed the rock up the hill and he finally got the last word. It’s really great to see your friends do well.
