The history of hip-hop music and the creation of the genre's unique beats are part of a new course at the Ohio State School of Music. The program is one of the first in the country.
I’d like to take this course.
Nicole McLaughlin
Nicole developed a non-profit organization to help provide much-needed design resources to young people, connecting large companies – especially those with deadstock and overstock materials – to schools and universities in need. She is working towards leading a regular series of workshops with a continued focus on sustainability, and eventually, a summer program concentrating on education and skill-based growth. The curriculum will teach you that design is more than just drawing and making, but an understanding of 'how' and 'why' and what we can do to change the future.

Sponge Innovation
One of the everyday items least likely to see real innovation? A sponge.
Cleaner than your typical sponge, this non-porous silicone dish scrubber dries fast and won't harbor bacteria. Fun and flexible, the scrubbers are tough too, incorporating more than 5,000 bristles for cleaning dishes and countertops.
Nice work, Kuhn Rikon.

Commercial Real Estate.
As a long-time entrepreneur, I’ve signed a half-dozen or so leases throughout my professional life. Every lease has a price per square foot and minimum 3 year term. One was actually a five year term. Two required a personal guarantee. All memorialized in an overwhelming and incredibly "over-legaled" lease document.
That approach is not supportive to the small business community.
As a result, I can honestly say that I have a real disdain for the real estate industry.
Signing a long-term lease for property is an incredibly antiquated, anxiety-filled, relic of a process that puts all the control in the hands of the property owner.
Ask any small business owner and they’ll likely say the same about their experience with commercial real estate. It’s exactly what a small business startup doesn’t need.
The industry is ripe for disruption and although leaders like WeWork and Industrious are making some interesting moves for tech and creative startups, they unfortunately still don’t solve the problem of how we support storefront, retail startups.
I’d like to help solve this problem.

Requesting my time.
I'm writing this while waiting for a local entrepreneur who requested a meeting with me - he's running 25 minutes late.
Asking for an hour of my time is like asking me for money. Free money. When I do client work, I charge $250/hour. I'm now 27 minutes in and have about $112.50 invested in this coffee meeting. That hasn't started yet.
At least the coffee is good.
