    Hello Grant! I like your problem and solution, and how your hook included a statistics to grab the viewer's attention. There are a couple of things that could be improved, particularly with your video quality and your body movements. I'm not sure which recording device you use, but if you could either move it to get better lighting or get an external source of light, it would make the video look much better. Additionally, it seems that you swayed a lot during your pitch, which can be distracting. But the message was great and I agree wholeheartedly.

    Hi Grant,
    I find that you have discovered an ongoing problem in today's world and a solution to that problem. Moreover, I find that you had a very persuasive elevator pitch, as you started your speech with important and uncommon statistics. In order to create a better elevator pitch, I would recommend recording yourself in area with better lighting, and I would consider wearing more professional clothing, like a sports coat and a button down.

    Hey Grant! Good start with the statistic! 1 in 5 kids is a very concerning number, and definitely hooks prospective customers to listen to what you have to say. You were very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about your opportunity, so the pitch was very easy to follow. Your hand movements helped get certain points across, but be careful with moving them around too much, as that can become distracting. Good job though!

Reading Reflection No.1

1) You read about an entrepreneur: What surprised you the most? What surprised me the most was how large a role he played at PIXAR. I always knew he was involved, but didn't realize the extent of it. What about the entrepreneur did you most admire? I admire his minimalist style. He likes to make everything as effective and powerful as possible in the simplest way possible. What about the entrepreneur did you  least  admire? I don't like that he was so opposed to allowing for changes or upgrades to products he made. Did the entrepreneur encounter adversity and failure? If so, what did they do about it? He encountered adversity when he was forced out of the company he founded. He overcame it by working his way back in and saving them. 2) What competencies did you notice that the entrepreneur exhibited?  He exhibited obsessive attention to detail. He was very meticulous about everything that he did and created. 3) Identify at leas...

Reading Reflection No. 3

1) You read about an entrepreneur: What surprised you the most? I think what surprised me the most is it didn't try to hide some of his less remarkable qualities (like his thoughts on women). What about the entrepreneur did you most admire? I admire that his goal is essentially to help save humans from themselves. What about the entrepreneur did you least admire? I don't like how often he snaps at people in anger-filled rampages. Did the entrepreneur encounter adversity and failure? If so, what did they do about it? His journey to creating multiple hugely successful companies was littered with challenges, but his desire for perfection allowed him to overcome them, and then move on to his next project. 2) What competencies did you notice that the entrepreneur exhibited?  He cares deeply about his work. He puts his all into it and doesn't stop until the output is perfect. 3) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to yo...

Halfway Reflection

Some behaviors that I have developed is to keep a calendar. I realized the number of assignments that appear on Canvas look way more daunting than it is (there are three separate parts for each assignment with multiple assignments due each week), so I realized early on I need a calendar that I can check off assignments as I do them to keep me more organized. I got really frustrated and wanted to give up pretty early on, actually. In the first week, I saw that parts A and B for the first assignment were due on a Friday. So, that Friday afternoon I sat down and did the work. I finished around 3 pm and went to submit them, only to find that the assignments were due at noon. That was really frustrating to me and got me extremely annoyed. However, it was a great learning opportunity for me. I realized that I need to be more vigilant of assignment directions and be a few steps ahead to avoid completely avoidable situations like that. Had I read a little more...
