Bringing Real Life to the Classroom…Elissa Olechnovich (Guest Sponsor Blogger)

Bringing Real Life to the Classroom…Elissa Olechnovich (Guest Sponsor Blogger)

Teaching business and marketing to high school students is something I really enjoy. However, there are times when I regret that I can’t offer the students more of a “real life” experience. When my friend started telling me about her apprenticeship experience at iMADdu and the organization’s desire to reach out to high school students interested […]

The Contract…Stephanie Yang

The Contract…Stephanie Yang

I am guilty, along with many others, for not reading every line of an agreement let alone every word. So when I was given an assignment to write out a draft contract, I was lost. I had to not only figure out what the message I needed to get across was, but also how to […]

Money, Money, Money…James Freeman

Money, Money, Money…James Freeman

Money buys everything. People say money doesn’t buy happiness, but doesn’t it in the long run buy you that too? Money can essentially get you anything you desire. Money causes power (i.e. Media) and also causes fame. Every rich human being has some sort of fame and/or powers that result in getting anything they desire. […]

The new youth…Where has the discipline and dedication gone? James Freeman

The new youth…Where has the discipline and dedication gone? James Freeman

Call me an old-timer, but I believe the current and future youth of the United States has gone in a downward spiral. I come and go at my job in Fredericksburg (an arcade primarily staffed by high school students) and the dedication for the job and the care for the job gets worse and worse […]

College Worthy…or is it?…James Freeman

College Worthy…or is it?…James Freeman

College does one thing for sure, and does it well; they put people in debt. The average college graduate makes almost 1 million more in their lifetime in comparison to a high school graduate or drop out. This sounds good, but is it truly worth it if you add up the cost of tuition, time […]

The Follow-Up…Stephanie Yang

The Follow-Up…Stephanie Yang

After a first date, we gauge the other party’s interest by seeing how the follow-up procedure plays out. I am no love guru, but it is said that how one follows up after a first date often determines the level of effort, interest and commitment which serves as the base of the relationship. Furthermore, it […]

Career or Job? Choose your passion…James Freeman

Career or Job? Choose your passion…James Freeman

Most people go to college to find a career. In my case, I personally would love to stay at this arcade, where I’m getting paid under 30K annually. The pay is terrible (for my current debt situation, which is about 70K) but I LOVE WHAT I DO.  I have responsibilities that allow me to make […]

Faceless…Stephanie Yang

Faceless…Stephanie Yang

Personally, I do not like talking on the phone. I would much rather meet up with someone and personally speak with them. Having a conversation and not being able to see the other person’s gestures and expressions is the biggest drawback to talking on the phone for me. However, when it comes to work, I […]

Ethics Lessons in the Workplace…Peter Ikeda

Ethics Lessons in the Workplace…Peter Ikeda

My entrepreneurship class discusses different case studies that my professor has written. One case in particular we discussed dealt with the idea of ethics in the workplace. This has been a concept I’ve seen come up in many of my business classes this semester. The case followed two bankers who uncovered fraudulent activity involving their […]

Entrepreneur Am I…Peter Ikeda

Entrepreneur Am I…Peter Ikeda

Throughout my time here at iMADdu and at Baylor, I find I’m constantly being asked and asking myself what kind of entrepreneur I am  and what entrepreneurship is to me. To be honest, I’m still not sure exactly what kind of entrepreneur I am or want to be although I do know that I want […]
