22a: Elevator Pitch #3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zKW4A1v-l8 Reflection - From my feedback from before I took into account my peer's thoughts on how I could dive into my idea more and undercover less surface level material. For example, with location wise, analyzing the pro's and con's of North Campus vs South Campus. Also, looking into the future as to if I would like to expand my business in multiple areas with multiple locations. - Looking back on my first two elevator pitches, I'm definitely more confident with my words nowadays and my ability to present them to an audience. I still need to dive more in depth though and not only cover surface level material but more in depth topics. - Not to much of the information surprised me to be honest, it was all good information.

21A: Reading Reflection No.2

What was the general theme or argument of the book? The general them of the book “Thinking, Fast and Slow” by Daniel Kahneman is that in our brain they are two individual systems that are constantly vying over control of our behaviors. These two systems in our mind are the conscious and the automatic. These two orders acting against one another initiate laziness in our brain and keeps us from using out full potential intellectually. 2) How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003? This book connected with our learnings from ENT3003 because it directly connected how our emotions can cause as humans to make ill-advised decisions. Kahneman speaks on how our automatic processing system is impulsive and instinctual, which helps us in certain scenarios like when walking home alone at night but hurts us in high IQ math problems. Antithetically, Kahneman enumerates how our conscious processing system in our brain is very ...

19a: Idea Napkin No.2

1)     My name is Evan Savage, first year Economics & Marketing Major. My talents include investing my passions into my daily responsibilities and relating to people on personal levels. My skills and experiences come from past work responsibilities and positions I hold in orgs at UF. My aspirations include graduating from UF and opening my own restaurant. I want to open my first restaurant with my Father, and co-owning it with him. 2)     The product I’m offering to my customers is a locally owned, homey-ambience brunch place that is very close to campus. This is an unmet need because other than Waffle House there isn’t a place that’s very close offering what I’m offering. 3)     The customers I’m offering to are UF students, from first years to eighth years. And also other Gainesville community members. 4)     Customers will see the benefit from my idea because the ability to offer great quality foo...
