We've been getting some ink of late, in part because we're a "success story" in Southeast Michigan. Unfortunately, that puts us in rare company these days. The Michigan economy's travails have been well documented in the local and national media, and everyone knows that the Big Three are struggling. Our CEO, Rand, has been telling people: "We need to stop calling it the Motor City!" In his view, that moniker just carries too much baggage and aligns us -- emotionally, financially, psychologically -- with an industry that is struggling to survive.
Rand is a classic entrepreneur: restless, edgy and driven. Guidepoint is his 13th company and, he freely admits, not all of his endeavors have ended up making money. "About half have done well and made money for investors," he says. "The other half...not so much."
Anyway, here are two stories about Guidepoint and Rand. One is from the Oakland Business Review and the other from an online publication called MetroMode Media.
