Last Wednesday Jon Goodman came to talk to our class. First off I have never been in the Tacoma room, that was cool. Also there was Cutter's Point coffee, and other free food that was there, which was pretty cool as well. Jon Goodman was a very good speaker, she was glowing with personality.
She had a lot to say about market research. She said "take it with a grain of salt", what she is talking about is you shouldn't take other peoples market research literally. Another one of her big points was to surround yourself with seasoned experts, they will help you to start your business, because they've done it before. Jon said "Steal from one its plagiarism, steal from many it's research". I like this statement, because it applied to students in general, and also it applies to her words on seasoned experts.
Jon had a lot to say about learning. Jon said "have no shame", she said we should take advantage of being students and try to get ourselves into businesses to learn what we can from them.
Overall, I really enjoyed listening to what Jon had to say. She seemed very enthusiastic about talking to us and kept our attention from start to finish.
