Boston Burrito Boss
Tuesday, January 24th, 2012
Thanks to CEO and Founder of Boloco John Pepper for speaking to us today! John was very real with us, and his passion for burritos shined through when he spoke. John seems to have a firm grasp on the importance of always doing right by the customer, as they are a businesses’ most important asset. John left us on the note that “you should never stop saying what’s important to your employees” – because, as a business owner, you have the vision and it’s your mission to help your employees understand what that vision is.
Banking on Success
Tuesday, January 17th, 2012
Special thanks to Jason Henrichs COO of Perkstreet Financial for coming out to speak to us last night! Jason told us that all of our ideas sucked. Why, you ask? Because ideas alone are worthless. Without action, no progress is made. Jason stressed the fact that too many entrepreneurs fall in love with their idea, and often forget the road that must be taken to turn that into a reality.

A huge thanks to Ryan Durkin, the COO of CampusLive for speaking to us last night! Ryan discussed the lessons he learned as an entrepreneur and stressed the importance of hard work and perseverance. It is difficult to work in a start up (nearly all employees lost their girlfriends) but it truly pays off.
