As a nine year Boulderite who chose to head west after growing up in eastern Pennsylvania, I can attest that your closing paragraph is on point. Boulder shines because we people who are very talented professionally who also enjoy the less techy side of life (like running up the nearest mountain). And it's good to know that we also have restaurants fit for venture capitalists:-) Maybe we'll see a billion dollar idea, or maybe not. But that person you heard in front of Ozo coffee was definitely not me, because if I can work on something that I'm passionate about (hey, weather) and lead the business for decades into the future, I'd be perfectly pleased with a hundred million dollar company...!
