The 5th installment of our Startup Stories speaker series returns to Live Wire this Fall with very special guest Paul Ollinger.

Paul Ollingeris a graduate of Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business. He was one of the first 250 employees of Facebook where he served as VP of Sales for the Western United States. Somewhere in between he spent two years performing stand-up comedy full-time in Los Angeles, CA, opening for some of the biggest names in the business.

Paul writes, performs comedy and speaks widely on work, wealth and purpose. His first book, You Should Totally Get an MBA: A Comedian’s Guide to Top U.S. Business Schools came out in April. When he’s not working, Paul is playing golf, binge watching Netflix or checking Who’s Viewed Your Profile on LinkedIn. He lives in Atlanta, GA with his beautiful wife, two wonderful children and French bulldog, Colonel Tom Parker.

Also sharing their entrepreneurship stories are Ty Frix of Athens-based healthtech startup Ichor, and Kristi Frank, UGA student founder of Clutch Creations. Athens artist and community advocate Broderick Flanigan will emcee the evening.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear the inside scoop on the early days of the tech boom, and gain some personal inspiration along the way.
