20A – Growing Your Social Capital

Domain Expert

1.  One person must be a domain expert in your industry.


Then first per\son that I interviewed is a politician in Ecuador, he is the major of a medium sized city in Ecuador. He manages a lot of resources and that's why I spoke with him. He was an expert on the industry because he is the one managing most of the resources that are destined for things such as street investment. He is young and it's pretty interesting that he's open for many ideas.

2. One person must be an expert on your market. 

The other person I chose was a friend that's in the technology industry a lot. I choose him because he know a lot about technology a virtual intelligence and that's what will monitor this product through and make it successful, he will analyze the product and see if it's profitable and it can be a reality. 


3. One person must be an important supplier to your industry.

The person that I choose to be the supplier contact is Victor Haon he works at a steel company, he is a very interactive human being. The product needs a lot of steel so we would need a supplier like these, he understands the business and can make the product we need to. 

Reflect:

 I really enjoyed these interviews because they made me out into a lot of perspective to my product.

    Hi Juan!

    It was super enjoyable to read the feedback you received conducting interviews. I think all three interviewees were appropriate for both of the expert and supplier categories as they definitely seem to fit your opportunity. It was also nice to see you enjoyed doing the interviews; this process has certainly been long so it is great to see your motivation! Great job!

27A – Reading Reflection No. 3

Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future, Ashlee Vance To me, this book was extremely amazing to read, mostly because I really admire Elon Musk and I'm a great fan of his job. He is a revolutionizer and is someone that society should admire as ma whole. i think he should be admired because he leads the world most biggest space shuttle companies which is SpaceX. What I admire the most about Elon is that he does things in order to help the humanity as whole. i believe he is successful because he keeps his ideas unique and he has his own thinking criteria and is not easy influenced by what other people say. He's had a clear goal since he was in college, alleviating our dependence on oil and make us a multi-planetary species. Elon Musk has been labeled and obsessive and compulsive in his line of job, but i can't blame him with so much job in his shoulders. I don't think he would be were he is right now if it wouldn't be for his decisiveness....

26A – Celebrating Failure

1) Thought this semester, there has been many times in which I think i'm not going to hold more, that it's to difficult for me and that I needed to give up. Wether it was this class or the other there has been challenges this semester. In this class I've mostly learned that things must be handed on time. I have missed a couple of assignments because of the date, for example the cupcake which is at 12pm on Mondays was easy to miss when I first started this class. I also struggled with the URL submitting, sometimes things are not hard, but they demand responsibility, that's something I've learned in this class. Also in my marketing class, I've taken tree difficult exams and it has not been easy. The first exam I didn't do well, so I studied the most I could for the second and third and now i'm on the road to a better grade in both classes. 2) This failure taught me that I have to be patient and consistant in life, if I wouldn't have had patience when...
