This week's feature interview is with Emerson Spartz, CEO and Founder of Spartz. Emerson kicks things off by telling us how he dropped out of the traditional school system to home school HIMSELF at age 12 and build one of the most successful blogs of all time, www.mugglenet.com.  From here he's launched a wave of profitable websites based on his home grown formula for Virality.  At 26 years old today, he's just getting started...listen in.   We also feature (Chicago) music from the band JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound.
