My entrepreneurship experience.

 I have been an "entrepreneur" for life. I don't really like coining the term because everyone can be an entrepreneur if they put the effort to be. I first realized that I loved this path because when I was young I was always rethinking challenges and going against the norm. I never lived a normal life, its always been crazy. I myself have realized how important small things were and finding a path to making things better was the way I thought of things. And only when I gave into temptation did I want to do whatever one else was doing, I always knew I was different.
My entrepreneurship story I wanted to share was how I got involved with a startup cold brew company called BRIO. I organically met them through social media and started up as an influencer, and slowly started working with the small owner team of two to become head of sales in South Florida. I got to get accustomed to the owners very well and I learned a lot about business from them. The biggest thing I learned was the true grit that they give towards their craft. Working for them as their third employee has put a huge responsibility on myself making it a big responsibility I had never owned before. This not only helped me in my business mindset but also in life, in general, I have gotten a lot better with time management and other life tasks.







I enrolled in ENT 3003 because it is required for IA. However, I see myself starting my own business one day and being able to be in a class like this will help me succeed in the future! I expect to learn about ideas and creativity and making it into a real-life solution.

  1. Hey Matthew,

    I think it’s an awesome opportunity that you get to work so closely with a startup company! It seems that you can learn the most from a startup company as opposed to a large established firm because you are exposed to many more areas of the business, as the number of employees is limited. As the company must figure things out in terms of sales, accounting, and other aspects of business, you gain those skills as an employee helping to work through these problems that startups can face! It’s fantastic that you can translate these skills, such as time management, to other parts of your life. I agree that anybody can be an entrepreneur. As I discussed in my blog post, people can even accidentally fall into situations that can help them develop as entrepreneurs.

    Cheers,
