The most immediate realization that I had over the course of this
presentation was that politicians were indeed entrepreneurs. In order to run for office, politicians need
to campaign and earn money in a similar way that new businesses need to seek
funding or investors to offer funding.
This made me gain a lot of respect for politicians because it is
improbable to get support and be well-liked; in fact, politicians have a great
risk of bringing shame to their name (as was the case when someone made a caricature
of Jim as a baby). However, the way he
deals with this fascinating because a mass public opinion (e.g. there is often
a lot of hate towards major politicians, like presidents) can quickly grow to
become threatening or life-changing.
Jim Kastama brought up several important points but I was more
interested in the idea of a new, innovative microwave. Microwaves are incredibly popular and easy
cooking devices that are used widely around the world and especially among
college students. The introduction of a
new powerful microwave in the area of Tacoma would be incredibly ground-breaking;
if it became the type of invention that could be in every household, the way
people live would be changed (everything would be faster!). It kind of reminds me of the project I was
doing for my business plan in this class because the goal of my company was to
create new technologies to change the way daily activities are performed (and a
new microwave would be just that).
