			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you don&#8217;t know <a href="http://www.tbd.com/About_TeeBeeDee">Robin Wolaner</a> by name, you know her great work. Her career includes founding <a href="http://www.parenting.com/parenting/">Parenting</a> magazine along with launching Martha Stewart Living and Vibe magazines.  She is also the author of a great book you NEED to buy called &#8220;<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Naked-Boardroom-Secrets-Transform-Career/dp/0743282841/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-1851632-8415246?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1186517156&amp;sr=8-1">Naked In the Boardroom</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>The point I&#8217;m making is she&#8217;s a player, she&#8217;s tried it, done it (successfully) and is going at again with a very, cool startup called <a href="http://www.tbd.com">TBD.com</a>.  Today, they just <a href="http://www.tbd.com/assets/press_releases/pr_2007_0807.pdf">announced their funding</a> round by a list of rockstar investors.  But this story isn&#8217;t about the money, it&#8217;s about a proven leader who is building a business to help her generation.  I sat down with Robin during my <a href="http://www.toddearwood.com/?page_id=28">Bay Area Visit</a> and while the persona in the book was intimidating, she and her team were a joy to meet.  Watch this interview and you&#8217;ll see why.</p>
