Great Talk by Entrepreneur Josh James, Founder of Omniture

This talk was given by Josh James at the BYU Rollins Center for Entrepreneurship.  Hat tip to that program for initially posting this video on their blog.

James is the founder of the web analytics company Omniture, which sold to Adobe for $1.8 billion, last year.  This is easily one of the best speeches I’ve ever seen a successful entrepreneur give.  James eschews any pretense and speaks honestly and openly about the thrills, rigors, and sacrifices of entrepreneurship.

Some key takeaways:

I think everyone will really enjoy this.  Also, for more on James, check out his recent How I Did It in Inc. magazine, which is actually what led me to find this speech.
