Finding a little professional validation.

I took the opportunity to pitch one of my currently buzzing ideas to one of the company owners today. It was a fairly brief ten or so minutes where he actually seemed somewhat impressed and potentially interested in exploring the idea. I am generally under the impression that it is his job to shoot every idea down right away now matter how good it might seem(and I don't mean this in a cynical sense, rather more of a very realistic business sense) so getting any sort of positivity from him I am inclined to take as a good sign. The idea is very rough and needs an immense amount of polishing to really craft the proper pitch for it but it seems like I might actually get a little help on this so that is the raddest result of this whole experience. Empowerment, in this case, is more valuable than acceptance.
