College Class: Intro to Entrepreneurship
Guest Speaker
The “Intro to Entrepreneurship” class was focused on developing an entrepreneurial mindset. The lectures covered topics such as life journeys, differentiating between ideas and opportunities, and introducing design thinking principles.
Around 40% of the class were Freshman, student-athletes, majoring in entrepreneurship, English, marketing, or business.
“One key takeaway was Kelly’s emphasis on embracing failure as part of the entrepreneurial journey. I left the talk feeling motivated to continue pushing my own boundaries in both business and athletics.”
“Kelly mentioned that embracing criticism is one of the most important aspects of an entrepreneurial mindset. I tend to care too much about others’ thoughts, which often distracts me from focusing on my own process.”
Blind Data
Podcast Mini Series, Created & Produced by Kelly Nyland, Rhenee Bartlett & Ryan Hornberger
We believe your personal data should be just that—personal. With the explosion of the internet this fundamental right has been exploited —monetized by monopolies at the cost of our privacy and security. But a new era is dawning. Web3 is emerging, and with it, personal data ownership is shifting from corporations back to consumers.
With the Blind Data podcast, we're exposing the truth behind what really happens with our personal data—shedding light on the blind spots that exist for brands and consumers alike. Every other week, we'll demystify the jargon that's keeping you in the dark. Get ready to unmask the truth and discover the fascinating world hidden beneath your data.

"Sphero deserves kudos for managing to do [this] when so many others put it off. Truly, this is a perfect execution.”
Many start-ups struggle to tell good stories because instead of building community, they’re focusing on fund-raising and getting an article about themselves published in TechCrunch. It’s hard for a new business to strike the right balance among so many competing priorities.”

"[This is] the marketing genius behind Snap’s new Spectacles…we haven’t seen in a long, long time. We all want a pair.”
One week ago, I had virtually zero interest in owning a pair of Snap Spectacles, the company’s new video-recording sunglasses. On Saturday, I contemplated the six-hour drive from San Francisco to LA to buy a pair out of a vending machine. What a difference a week can make.

“With the launch of the brilliantly marketed Spectacles, the colorful sunglasses …were initially only available from a single...
…bright yellow vending machine in Venice Beach, California. Lines formed immediately, driving the price up. Snap's not making iPhone money off the effort yet, but it sure is stoking desire.
And its timing is impeccable [with its rumored IPO].”
