Very short interview No.1 A new day

My entrepreneur of choice is Jamie Day. He was my Theory of Knowledge teacher in 11th and 12th grade and is overall a well-rounded, level headed fellow. His accolades that class him as an entrepreneur are many and detailed, but I herald him for being the only man aside from my father who independently owns property in downtown St.Pete.

B-What does it mean to be an Entrepreneur?

J- Whatever you take it upon yourself to forge meaning of. Calling yourself an entrepreneur is an easy enough thing to do, you then have to adopt the mindset of being warm and open with everyone you come across and hopefully with time whatever you're focusing on or passionate about will come into view and align itself with all the thoughts bouncing around behind your forehead. You just have to have the agency to do, and seem very strange in doing so, if you're doing it right at least. 

B-What do you think I should learn in this course?

J- Well you've heard me say it before, school is mainly just a medium to get you around people and help you to refine your social skills. So hopefully that. Hopefully some tips on how to maneuver the financial world and background knowledge about how to get what you want. It's a wide subject to condense but there's plenty to teach that could apply to it.

B-What is your crowing achievement as an Entrepreneur in your opinion?

J- My kids. They've made me enough money to stop what i'm doing whenever I please.

I was elated to see Jamie again. Theory of Knowledge was a favourite class of mine in high school and I love his personality. It was a good excuse to go back. I was shocked to see he cut off his ponytail. I learned, or remembered rather, that as long as you have the right mindset and are smiling, you can do pretty much whatever.
