Go USF Bulls!

Z, Kelly, and I routing for the Bulls!

My alma mater is NC State so what am I doing routing for the Bulls?!?  I was at USF tonight speaking to the student members of the International Business Board.  That’s the president, Z, vice pres, Kelly and myself.  They had to teach me the USF sign, which is coincidentally very similar to the Wolfpack sign!

I haven’t spoken to a group of students since I left teaching.  It turned out to be more nerve racking than I thought.  But I LOVE sharing about my experiences in business and entrepreneurship.  If I can inspire one person to pursue their dream through my enthusiasm and dedication to business, then I feel successful.  That’s probably my motivation for starting this blog!

Evil Plans for World Domination

In Flight Reading

I went up to Chi-town on Tuesday evening and brought along the book “Evil Plans.  Having fun on the road to World Domination”.  Probably, not the most appropriately named book for in flight reading!  But it’s really a light, playful look at making the most of your life and finding love with purpose. It is written by Hugh MacLeod, who draws cartoons on the back of business cards, and also authors the website GapingVoid.

I read the entire book, cover to cover, before we even touched down in Chicago.  Well the thoughts and ideas that it put in my head must have planted a seed for what was to come.  I can’t reveal too much before our next tradeshow, Expo East, but my evil plan for Kelapo is seemingly shaping up quite nicely!

Get the book.  Read it.  Even if you’re not an aspiring entrepreneur, like me 🙂
