Guest Speaker Derek Young

Derek Young came to our class to talk about his businesses. Derek worked at R.E.I. for 10 years, then left to focus on the businesses he created. Derek liked to start small niche companies that did something well, mostly web based companies. Derek runs a blog called Exit 133, a website which focuses on articles about local businesses and the local economy. Derek was also the founder of Suite 133. Suite 133 provides office space for start up companies who need immediate temporary office space. It is a great place for start-ups to get on their feet. Derek's presentation was cut short because of a fire alarm, although I believe he would have kept our attention until the end of class.
Mr. Fry told us to write how many question we have asked our guest speakers. I have asked zero questions to our guest speakers. I usually only have basic questions in which the speaker answers in their presentation.
