SM: What was the process of finding your mentors? MH: There is a group in San Diego called the Chairman’s Roundtable. Semi-retired business leaders volunteer their time. They only work with companies with over $10 million in revenue and want to grow.
SM: How long were you able to take advantage of the beneficial AdWords pricing? MH: Within four or five months people started realizing that Borrego Solar was advertising there so they figured they should, too.
SM: So you had a perspective for your search for a green economy job. MH: Exactly. It’s funny because in 2001, my brother and the original founder of Borrego Solar had re-incorporated the company and moved it to San Diego where they tried to grow the business.
