They discuss their journeys, from the origin of their businesses through the challenges they’ve faced along the way.
Burau and Carroll stress the importance of mentorship and finding customers early by cultivating a positive personal brand and reputation. They speak to how a Ross education has expanded their competence through finance and business classes in conjunction with the resources at the Zell Lurie Institute (ZLI), the hub for entrepreneurship and innovation at Michigan Ross. They speak to the challenges of balancing running a business while being a student. They leave listeners with the advice to never stop learning, networking, connecting, and further understanding their customers.
