Mike Nolan
Partner, Senior Facilitator

A former broadcaster, Mike sold his group of radio stations in 2000 to focus
attention on the online automotive publishing company he started in 1996.
After growing the company to a network of 450 automobile dealerships and
hundreds of newspaper partnerships nationwide, he sold the company to
CarTruckTrader.com in 2006.

Mike has nurtured several other ventures, including providing angel funding
and leadership to Moving Records, a music industry startup, seeing it
through to acquisition by a publically traded company. Mike also led the
series A funding effort for a green manufacturing firm and has consulted for
automotive, jewelry, manufacturing and health care companies.

Mike holds an MBA from the Melbourne Business School in Australia, and has
lectured at Minnesota State and WHU in Koblenz, Germany. He has led
charitable campaigns for United Way and the Educare foundation, and has
served on numerous non-profit boards. Mike is currently working with Eden
Campus in South Africa to develop the world's first green business school.

An avid traveler, scuba diver and pilot, Mike recently ventured around the
world for six months with his wife and three teenage children. His wife is
currently writing a book about their adventures, and his daughter is working
on a book entitled "How to Travel with Your Parents." Every other Sunday, he
and his wife host a jam session in their home studio.
