The first couple of customer interviews were some of the most nerve-wrecking things I've done throughout this semester. But I know that just from those minor assignments, my entrepreneurial mindset had begun to flourish. The experience that will be most memorable for me, was the Free Money assignment. Giving away $5 to random strangers was definitely something that I had never thought I would do, but I understood the importance of the experience and learned from it. My most joyous experience as well as the one that I am most proud of accomplishing is probably this post. Looking back at everything that I have done throughout this semester and how far I have come is definitely something that will have a lasting impact on my mindset.
I feel like I most definitely do have an entrepreneurial mindset now, and it is 100% because of this class. It has helped me see the world differently and also see myself differently.
I would recommend new students in this class to really try and see the significance of each assignment before actually doing them, I learned a lot more from each assignment once I began doing so. I would also recommend that they take this entrepreneurial journey seriously, because you get out what you put in.
Absolutely love this post, it pretty much is the same with my experience as well! The beginning of this course was difficult, knowing that we would have to do so many interviews with random people was scary! But now it's not so much. I am very thankful for that. I agree that this class needs to be taken seriously and students need to push themselves.

I like your post Tristan, and I agree that the free money exercise was the toughest assignment that we were given because if you did it without knowing the people a dollar doesn't seem like a lot of money, and many will take it the wrong way. I think we have all learned a lot from this class and the valuable insights to push forward in the future.

Yes! 100% I agree with you about those dang customer interviews, except for me it wasn't just the first few, it was all of them. I also got pretty annoyed and frustrated with all of the reading reflections, not because they were hard but because it was so time consuming. But in the end, its nice to see that you are walking away with something from all this.
