WILL MAYO:  Cut the Arms Off Your Baby
Channel: IgniteNYC
Date: 02/12/2012

Startup entrepreneur, Will Mayo, shares with us how running out of money was the best thing that ever happened to him.  Watch the talk to learn why, "Sometimes you have to cut the arms off your baby to save its life."

Will loves creating, manipulating, and listening to audio. After developing several sound related apps, Will launched SpokenLayer, which lets anyone read the web with their ears, a concept driven by Mayo's childhood struggle with Dyslexia.
