There’s nothing better than a story about bullies being given the finger.<\/p>\n
A 16 year-old who was terrified of going to her prom because of fear of bullies, had a surprise when 127 bikers turned up to support her.<\/p>\n
In the UK there’s a\u00a0group called\u00a0Bikers Against Bullies and, without her knowing, they arranged to escort her to\u00a0her prom.<\/p>\n
As her car left to take her to the prom, she got a surprise as 127 bikers turned on to the road and surrounded the car in a private escort to the event.<\/p>\n
Not only did it help to give her som self-esteem back, but it also\u00a0stopped the bullies from\u00a0doing anything during the prom.<\/p>\n
Since then she’s gone on to help the group with their social media accounts and support their work to help other people.<\/p>\n
What\u00a0an absolutely brilliant\u00a0story, I love it.<\/p>\n
Ciao,<\/p>\n

In fact, Convince & Convert is my fifth startup endeavor, and I\u2019m an investor in dozens of others. But this is certainly my most well-known and longest-running venture, so on this anniversary date, I decided to take some stock and think about the mistakes I\u2019ve made along the way.
