1.  Link to my video  In my last pitch, I was told that my pitch was good and easy to understand. The only thing that I really needed to fix was the length. It was a tad bit too long last time. The one feedback I got that surprised me as that one peer stated that he could tell I had viewed other pitches i order to make mines good. I took the feedback I got and deleted some parts that I was told could be left out. Specifically, some parts from my opening and the statistic I had included. Since this is only my second pitch, I don’t have it completely memorized just yet. However, I am more comfortable in front of the camera.

1- Alicia Baker She is the Assistant Director for Gatorwell at UF and concentrates on alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs wellness. She is engaged in the same type of goals that my business has, promoting safe drinking practices for people. Therefore she fits in my domain expert slot. I searched online to see how is the person at Gatorwell that would speaking to would most benefit my business, then I went to gatorwell and spoke with her. She didn’t ask for anything really in return for listening to my business idea, she was glad to help out a student.

My product can be sold to both businesses and individuals, however, its more likely that only businesses will purchase this. Therefore, I have described a business entity as my avatar.  The year is 2017 and the board of directors for Florida State University (FSU) has been under heavy heat from parents, the media, and donors due to increased hazing incidents on their campus. This university lacks diversity and campus life is controlled by Greek life. Their Greek life has been highlighted due to increased injuries and ‘accidents’ that occurred because of binge-drinking and hazing incidents. Furthermore, the university has strict rules against hazing and especially with alcohol. However, it happens either way.

This university already struggles to maintain a high reputation and these incidents have only added more heat to the fire. They need to fix their reputat...

1 .  Describe five ways in which you think you have human capital that is truly unique.   a.        Passionate – I believe that when I get passionate about something I have the power to make others feel my same passion.

I treat those in the same way I wish to be treated which in tu...
