This week we brought you the second part to the bonus interview with Justin Bugsy Sailor from back in November. He talks about creativity and how he doesn't like the way the world has been used lately, random business ideas that began as April Fools jokes, and much much more. 

Justin Bugsy Sailor joined Aaryn Richard in a bonus podcast bit after he came to MSU for Innovate State in November. They talk about Plaidurday, Bugsy's highlights and lowlights to his 50 state road trip, growing up in the UP, and how to survive harsh winters. Sprinkled in between are great lessons like how to build a community, taking things a little at a time, and trying everything twice. Listen in- it's a good bonus episode! 

WE caught up with Holly Taipala about Women in Entrepreneurship (WE). Here, Holly tells us about her experience as a budding entrepreneur who balances student life and work life. Her love for coffee, baked goods, and women-led projects, encourages us to keep the discussion going from the recent women in entrepreneurship week (WEW). 

We caught up over Halloween with Katie Musial, a long time Eboard member of MSU Women in Entrepreneurship and current Hatch member. We talked all about the lessons she has learned from being involved in MSU entrepreneurship and also about how she has seen the ecosystem upon up to her as a female. There's a lot of laughs and even more wisdom from her.
