Ed "Skip" McLaughlin '78 is the founder of four businesses and is currently running
Blue Sunsets LLC, a real estate and angel investment firm. Tired of working for others and dealing with office politics, he left his high-level corporate job to start his businesses. Ed's new book, The Purpose is Profit: The Truth about Starting and Building Your Own Business (Greenleaf Book Group), offers direct insight into the startup process and how a startup really works.
Ed will talk about the challenges and motivations of becoming an entrepreneur. Discussion highlights from the book include: why distinctive competence trumps passion when starting a business; where to get funding without losing control; and why a startup should factor profit into every business decision. Ed reveals a step-by-step process to start, fund and grow the right business for you.
Ed is a 1978 graduate of Holy Cross, where he is a member of the Board of Trustees. Active in philanthropy, he lives with his wife in Connecticut and has three adult children.
