Mr. Scott, was my business mentor at the SBDC when I only had an idea. It was via his supervision that I brought my idea to life and entered into business for myself. I would confidently state that his mentorship and guidance was most instrumental during the most difficult initial stages of my start up. Thank you, Daniel!
Source: LinkedIn Ivan Nikolov Mar 23, 2013Daniel has somehow managed to merge his interests in the business community with his interests in academia... a feat that very few people accomplish. In both segments, he has added tremendous value to the Tampa Bay region.
He is that "behind-the-scenes guy who builds the infrastructure needed to complete a project but is more than willing and capable of being in the spotlight to move things forward".
I admire his professional business posture and the way he articulates his message to an audience. Daniel is a true asset to any team or project.

He is simply irreplaceable and invaluable, I can honestly say that Daniels hard work and dedication to our program is more then just a job to him, its passion working at its best. His engagement with the USFSP community along with the entrepreneurs within the Tampa Bay area has created a synergistic atmosphere within the St.Petersburg community allowing endless amounts of positive exposure to our program, alliance and best of all our students. Daniel is definitely the backbone to our success as an organization.

His commitment to the local small business community is unsurpassed, and his recent involvement at the Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Innovation (SEI) Alliance at USF St. Pete College of Business will no doubt mark a turning point in the development of high-growth, high-value SBEs in the Tampa Bay area. His leadership skills and laser sharp focus have been and will continue to be a significant boon to entrepreneurs looking to intelligently advance their businesses.

Source: LinkedIn Jana Wiggins Mar 23, 2013I appreciate Tom's response, and would love to wholeheartedly agree. That being said, I am simply going to take a divergent perspective for balance.
When a company starts, a good enough product is good enough when it allows for sales, which are dependent on distribution. Therefore, good distribution trumps good product at first; however, as you pointed out, the tables eventually turn.
Almost always, the promise of a product is enough to create a customer at startup, distribution allows for that customer to generate a sale.
Think about it this way: nobody ever needed a blanket with arms - there was no real compelling "job to be done" - but distribution created the hit with a just good enough product.
Remember when twitter was first released? It crashed constantly and hardly anyone worth following was present. But the system of distribution was a thing of beauty.
All else being equal, distribution creating sales buys runway for product development. So, I'm completely in agreement with Jeff Bezos on this one.
