Thinking Beyond: Conversations with Strategic Thinkers with Dr. David Flint

This conversation with Rahsaan King, Harvard student and founder of Students of Strength, sheds light on eroding factors the start-up is facing as it seeks to serve schools as well as individual students. During the conversation we also uncovered a potential enabling factor that might just be the key to overcoming some critical eroding factors. It's a great conversation for any entrepreneur looking for ways to think differently about their business in order to gain new insights. And, Rahsaan is quite inspiring too. Enjoy the conversation!

Thinking about yourself as someone who can create value in the world and preparing yourself to adapt to the world is useful personally and can help you better market yourself to prospect employers. We all need to be realistic; don't brag but do know how you can create value for an organization. Cyndie Meersman is the founder of a unique student organization at Texas A&M University called The Business of the Arts (BA), an organization that she hopes one day will become known for developing artists' entrepreneurial skills. Cyndie confesses she didn't actually start the organization to help artists. She started BA to expand her own career options by putting a leadership position on her own resume. Selfish? I don't think so. Cyndie is thinking strategically; she's thinking about how she can make herself more valuable to prospect employers.  https://archive.org/download/CindieMeersmanPodcast/Cindie%20Meersman%20Podcast.mp3
