20A – Growing Your Social Capital Submit Assignment

1) Domain Expert
- James Davis
- This person advertises businesses everywhere. They can help me advertise tap-in-go better around campus.
- I found the person online and contacted through email.
- The nature of the exchange was me just finding out about his job and how he does things, such as where to advertise.
- This person will teach me how they advertise and help me with this opportunity.

2) Market Expert
- Jeffery Smith
- This person looks at all the ads produced by each company and looks at which ones people look at the most.
- Same as above, I found them online and contacted through email.

- They can help me design an ad that is effective and gets seen.

3) Important Supplier
- Prianka Patel
- This person sells billboards and places to put your advertisement. They are the person you call to get your ad viewed.
- As with the first two I looked online and emailed them.

- This person will give me spots to advertise tap-in-go in an effective place.

Reflection:
This experience will definitely help me in my future as all experience does. I have never had to contact anyone and I am rather shy so this helped me tremendously.

    Hey Eric. Nice write up. I think the people you found can be great assets to you and will greatly increase your social capital. It seems that they fit very well with your idea and can help tremendously in the way of getting it off the ground. And honestly, I think this was a great exercise for you personally as well. A lot of people are shy, more than you might think (and me included), and reaching out and putting yourself in these uncomfortable positions can only help you in the long run and help you grow as a person. Cheers.

    Excellent, excellent, excellent! This was again a "banger" of wordplay and entrepreneurial expertise! Prianka Patel is a good friend of mine so I am glad that you are using her knowledge in selling billboards to your advantage. One day you will get over that shyness and blossom into a wonderful person that we all know you can be. Much love!

21A – Reading Reflection No. 2

I read the book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck 1) What was the general theme or argument of the book? The general theme of the book is about success is all portions of life. 2) How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003? The book in my opinion definitely connects with what we are learning in this class. It talks a lot about what it takes to be successful and what successful people do. 3) If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, what would that exercise involve? That exercise would involve just spending time alone in your room with no social media around and just thinking about yourself and who you are. 4) What was your biggest surprise or 'aha' moment when reading the book? In other words, what did you learn that differed most from your expectations? I personally have read other self improvement books before and I really enjoy them as I find them real...

29A Venture Concept No.2

  Venture Concept My opportunity belief for this class involves an application that helps the costumer with the parking on UF campus.    The opportunity such as the group of concepts I will be mainly targeting students at the University of Florida. Other groups to target would be people who park on campus who aren't students, like teachers or workers. Typically students have the need of not finding parking spots or don’t know where to park with their decal of their car or scooter. A lot of TAs are on campus and give out tickets. Nobody wants a ticket. These people that need my opportunity idea are the ones who: Want to park their vehicles on the UF campus  Can't find the right parking lot on campus   Don't know in which parking lots how many spots are available  Don't want to get tickets because of wrong parking   Don't want to walk because they parked too far from class The nature of this need is not too high but it has ...

6A – Identifying Opportunities in Economic & Regulatory Trends

1   An Algorithm That Grants Freedom, or Takes It Away A) https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/06/technology/predictive-algorithms-crime.html B) The article explains the case of a 30 year old man who had deemed as a “high risk” after he got released from jail in 2018. The reason he is a high risk is because a computer algorithm gave him that status   C) The costumers are the people that get classified by that algorithms, wether it’s fair or not D) This is very difficult because the decisions are made by a computer, not a psychologist who sees them in person. I think a computer can’t decide who is a high risk or low risk for the society, based on the system predicted.   2 Uber Posts Faster Growth, but Loses $1.1 Billion https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/06/technology/uber-growth-losses.html The article reveals some of the numbers Uber made this year compared to last year.
