Congressman

Congressman Adam Smith visited our class and all I can say is that it was very cool and a privilege to have a congressman come to our class and take the time to talk to us. Having said that, I don't like politicians at all, even though he sounded very nice and knowledgable, I only believe 2% of what they say. He talked about the "Rise of the rest" and how countries like China are growing exponentially and have taken a lot of jobs in manufacturing that the US used to have. Also he mentioned that our tax code does is not correctly balanced to compete against countries as China. In general, he seemed to motivate us to change our attitude of "dominating" to "competing" with other countries. In general he seemed to follow his agenda like any other politician.

Angel Investor

Jon Dimmer visited our class and all I can say is that is probably the best speaker we had so far. Not that any other guest speaker where bad, it just that Mr. Dimmer pretty much answered many of the questions that I have currently. Since right now I'm in the process of getting money for my business and Jon Dimmer is an angel investor it was just perfect timing. He gave me even greater perspective as what an angel investor looks when investing money into a new company. With the insight he gave us, I for sure will be using a lot of what I learned when I go out to talk to investors. I already had some talks to investors, but know I can see what I have done wrong and what I can improve next time I present my business to an investor. That is exactly what I wanted to get out of this class, and I really appreciate the effort Andrew Fry has done to get us guest speaker in class.
