  • North Lenoir High School - Business Management Class Talk

    A week after chatting with ECU students I had the opportunity to address a business management class at North Lenoir High School. In a first for me, I shared actual slides created in 2016 at the startup phase of Magic Mile Media (pre-Neuse News). In the talk, I broke down why I started MMM, how I used a SWOT Analysis, what I learned about the market, how I projected financials, and more.

  • ECU College of Business Leadership Conference - How to Make Money

    What are the fundamentals of how to make money? How can you do that in an ethical way? In this address to ECU College of Business students, I shared, "We all will make more money if we invest our time into inspiring teams rather than managing employees."

    Three key points:

    1. Treat people fairly and like family.
    2. Work hard and let go of fearing failure
    3. Solve more problems by empowering others to make decisions

    Four philosophies that drive me:

    1. Trust is greater than Skill
    2. Relationships are greater than Money
    3. Doers are greater than Complainers
    4. Master the Mundane

    Final thought:

    Go all-in on your strengths and what makes you happy.
