One thing I can say is to tell the story from a different angle about what you've done. You started a business, employed X number of people over the years, made over X million dollars, first of its kind, etc. The story can be told a lot better than "I ran some porn sites".

Also expect a certain level of job based on your experience, don't assume you have to start at the bottom again.
Thanks for the support Maybe we should look into getting a professional author to write our story... We definitely have some interesting photos to show and stories to tell.

Would be perfect if the ending could be that we now had a successful mainstream product though ;) That is what we are currently working on for the local (Danish) market. Luckily we didn't burn all our money on Lifestyle Amateurs and are working hard to get a breakthrough with our in-house developed product. We are moving forward, but still waiting for the snowball to start rolling.

We should talk some day and exchange experiences
