Once again,
Thanks so much for coming to speak to us. Reading a textbook and listening to lectures can only get you so far- and by having a successful entrepreneur come speak is fantastic insight. It was enlightening to hear you speak about the difficultly of the corporate world and how you needed that certain change.

Adam,
Thanks again for coming to speak with our class. Like Andrew mentioned, the opportunity to have some “real world” exposure to the entrepreneurial process that we’re learning in class is really insightful, and particularly valuable coming from such a young person as yourself, as you were in our shoes really only just a few years ago. We’ll be sure to keep you up to date on our business ventures this semester and thanks again for taking the time out of your schedule to share your experiences with us!

Thanks Andrew! I’m always happy to do anything I can do help, even if you just need someone to bounce an idea off of. Just leave a comment or drop me an email at adam [at] adam-mcfarland [dot] net.

As far as not being able to give the presentation again, yea I’m a bit bummed out. It is unfortunate. I’m not sure where I’m going to go next with it, but I do want to continue giving the presentation. Where and when and to whom is still to be determined

Thanks for taking the time to come and talk to us. Much like Donya said, your stories and answers to our questions have contributed to our group discussions as we attempt to move forward in the process.

It’s unfortunate that you won’t be able to give the same talk again- your real-world experiences really put the class topics in perspective.

I trust that this isn’t the last time you will hear from me. I may have to further tap into your knowledge base as the semester progresses, and maybe even beyond that.

Donya and Sean – thanks for taking the time to visit my blog and to comment. I’m glad you enjoyed the lecture. It means a lot to me to hear that from you guys. Keep up the great work on your projects. I’m going to stay in touch with Prof Wales and check back towards the end of the semester to see how you guys are coming along. The ideas everyone pitched to me were awesome so I’m sure you’ll do great

Whoops. Mispelled entrepreneur, but I guess I can’t edit it .

Thanks again for visiting our class. It was informative to hear an entrepeneur in the real world share his experiences.
