When I flew in to San Jose, California for the BlogHer convention, I got a chance to meet Molly Lavik.

By some amazing coincidence, Molly Lavik, founder and CEO of Mentorography was in town at another conference, which was just ending — something about Entrepreneurial stuff.

I met Molly online earlier this year, and she hired me to help in the initial setting up of her blog. We had some great conversations and it was fascinating to me to hear her plans and ideas. She used a web designer to create a WordPress site that does not look like a blog at all.

Molly is a professor at Pepperdine and has co-written a book about start-ups and entrepreneurship,Entrepreneurial Marketing: Real Stories and Survival Strategies. She’s also written a new one, not yet published, called Startup Time. (Unfortunately, to see the preview, you need to register at the online bookstore where it’s featured).

At Mentorography she’s set up a site where she’s been posting audio interviews with various entrepreneurs. The tag line of the blog reads ” Listen to and comment on digital diaries of lessons learned from socially-responsible entrepreneurs.” Once you register (free) you can hear the audios, and leave comments. I listened to a few and plan on hearing more.

Molly and I got a chance to actually meet at San Jose airport, after I landed and before she flew out. It turned out that our airlines, Southwest and American, were both at the same terminal. (Not that I knew that until I walked out of the terminal and down the block to find transportation to the American terminal. I was directed to a building across the street. This turned out to be connected via a section that crossed over the street, to the building I had just left!)

We had a great chat, and she recorded me for Mentorography. I do get to hear it first and can veto it, so don’t get your hopes up, o my many fans.
