Paul won't tell you, so I will. Hobby Airport was named after his family. His dad was Lieutenant Governor, and his grandad, William P. Hobby, was Governor of Texas. Paul, a former attorney, almost became a Congressman but instead pursued being a noble private equity investor. They exist. He believes private equity should be the fixer in the economy and has lived out that motto at Genesis Park. #houston #horses #solar #centrist #glorioustension #texasbusinesshalloffame #texasmonthly

His 3,000+ CEOs in his forum employ $1M people, and it’s starting to spread globally. He once kicked me (Clint) out of C12 for 6 months. Politicians, companies, and not-for-profits all want a piece of the hard-working Mike for his CEO access. #sanantonio #faithandwork #fostercare #ceo

Donna & Andy Tryba
Donna is clearly the brains and the beauty in this relationship. She runs a successful ‘ mom health blog’ speaking to women over 40 (which clearly she isn’t :). Andy is the only person I know who has been CEO of 19 companies and is now the CEO of Ionic Partners. He’s also formerly the founder of the local nonprofit rideshare RideAustin, a former advisor to the White House, and wishes his golf game had ‘game.’ Donna and Andy sit on a variety of local charities. #ceo #momblog #rideshare #whitehouse
