Editor’s note: Former Duke quarterback Thad Lewis joins Triangle entrepreneur, blogger and video host Joe Procopio for a series of interviews in his Teaching Startup series. Here’s the first episode.

DURHAM – We were actually going to stop having guests on the show.

The episodes with Justin Miller had gone really well, but I came away from them thinking we could make The Show even better if we spent some time refining it. No guests for a while, get into a rhythm and tune our chemistry.

Because Andy was in California recently at 500 Startups and because we all have, you know, day jobs, I was meeting with each of the guys individually and laying out my no-guest plan. Andy agreed immediately and offered to start playing host, which he does here. He’s great at it. Colgan was also down, as he and I are starting to find our own chemistry, and you can see that starting to develop.

Chop agreed too, thought it was a great idea, but also wondered out loud if we’d like to have Thad Lewis do a guest stint.

I remember Thad Lewis from his time at Duke. He’s that good. And when Chop told me what he was doing as an entrepreneur with his TL9 label, it was just way too good to pass up.
