- PresidentWebNet HostingSep 2003 - Oct 2017 (14 years 2 months)I started WebNet Hosting in 2003, which became the leading provider of managed hosting services, specializing in e-commerce & video hosting. WebNet Hosting at its peak hosted over 5,000 clients globally. Our clients included the American Red Cross, Friends of Animals, and many other small businesses.

- AThe business behind hosting companiesAprToday’s guest is an entrepreneur who had a hosting company. They had a challenge with hosting videos on their site and they thought, “Let’s create a product that solves it.” And they did. And then it failed. But then they kept talking to their customers and understanding the real pain, understanding the bigger issue. They now have a video hosting and monetization platform that is doing phenomenally well. I invited the founder, PJ Taei, to talk about how he launched Uscreen.tv. He’s made it into a business that just keeps growing revenue and I want to learn how this process works of understanding customers.
