Stick with passion…Christopher Pedersen
If I had a mission statement for my life, it would be to stick with what I’m passionate about. This is true for everything in my life, whether it concerns work, relationships, and hobbies. Life is too short to do things that you’re not passionate about. It’s not only a waste of time for you, […]
Irony of an open mind…Christopher Pedersen
I think that the single most important thing for new iMADdu apprentices to remember is to keep an open mind. iMADdu will challenge you in ways that you cannot begin to imagine. You’ll be challenged constantly, and forced to examine yourself, and your daily habits. Entrepreneurship is the most challenging form of work, since every […]
I can’t do something?…Christopher Pedersen
I almost hate saying it, but one of the biggest motivators I have in life to perform at my best is people telling me that I can’t do something. This has been true for me with work, sports, and my personal life, among other things. Too often people will tell you that something is not […]
Giving without any expectation…Christopher Pedersen
Every day, I try to make a difference in someone else’s life. Most of the time, I accomplish this by offering advice, and passing any relevant knowledge I can to my family and friends. I find that giving without any expectation for a reward is the best feeling you can have. Volunteering by handing out […]
Always room for improvement…Christopher Pedersen
What have I learned about myself since working at iMADdu? There’s always room for improvement. Too often I’ve found that I don’t keep things in the proper perspective, and fail to notice the times when I need to improve certain aspects of my life. It’s always helpful to take a backseat, and look at yourself […]
I would’ve thought you were crazy…Christopher Pedersen
My long-term goal has always been to do something interesting that challenges me. Early in my career, I settled for a job that I hated, only because everyone told me that I needed a steady job once I graduated from college. I remained at this job for over a year and a half, only because […]
Being Let Down by Internships…Christopher Pedersen
I’ve had internships at so many different companies, and I can’t remember learning a thing from most of them. The majority of these internships were at large corporations where I had to go through a rigorous interview process, and demonstrate that I was ready to work hard in return for a valuable educational experience. If […]
Breaking into the Film Industry…Christopher Pedersen
iMADdu will be a great experience for anyone who is willing to put in the work. How do I know this? Because I was once lucky enough to have an incredible internship that was just like the apprenticeships that iMADdu promotes. I had always wanted to break into the film industry, and learn how to […]
Thriving…Christopher Pedersen
Apprentices seem to be a dying breed. It’s not a word that’s heard often in the workplace anymore. An apprentice? Most people associate the word with some type of blue-collar job. Internships are meant to apprenticeships, but most of the time they are anything but that. Since most interns work for no pay, employers often […]
