description
The main purpose of this presentation is to offer a distilled version of the various instances of enlightenment that I experienced during my Entrepreneurship for the Public Good (EPG) summer program this year. The knowledge that I gained, both intellectual and technical, is vast and I will try to distill it to fit the length of this presentation. I will go ahead and assume that most of you have never thought that it is possible for opportunities to come at you. The biggest lesson that I take from this summer institute is that I can manipulate opportunities to flow in my favor. I will explore that idea in more depth in this presentation.
