Mango Languages: Crain's Detroit Business Article
Jason Teshuba was recently interviewed by Crain’s Detroit Business about running a second stage company.
We are experiencing lots of growth and managing that growth well is critical to success.
Excerpt from the article:
Teshuba said he and his management team ask three questions about any potential deal, guided by the “hedgehog concept” described in Jim Collins’ popular 2001 book Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap … And Others Don’t.
“If you can, imagine three circles and they all intersect in the middle,” Teshuba explained. “You’re trying to discover what the company is deeply passionate about, what it has the potential to be the best at, and what drives the company’s economics. The point in the middle is the hedgehog.”

California Library Association Conference 2009
The California Library Association Conference was held in sunny Pasadena this year. Since the conference fell on Halloween weekend we felt that the theme of the booth should reflect the holiday. We decked the booth out in orange and black shirts and hung our customized Halloween banner. Visitors flocked to the booth to collect t-shirts, candy, and most importantly to see Mango Basic our new product.
We had a great time meeting with new librarians and our current customers! You all rock!
