The SAGE Competition on Friday was a lot of fun. I met a number of new people (fellow judges and others), and was very impressed by the teams who participated. The most unique idea I heard was from a team representing a small school from a rural southern town. Their idea was to create a co-op supermarket store to replace the Wynne Dixie that just closed up shop. They constructed a plan that was actually accepted by local planners, and are moving to construction phase. Entrepreneurship is about identifying a need and executing on it in a way that solves a problem. They did just that.
Following that, I headed down to the jersey shore (where I am now) to visit family and some friends. I just game from my sister’s soccer tournament where she assisted in the game winning goal with 3 seconds left (go Morgan!) That may have earned them first place.
This morning I went on a bike ride with my best friend growing up, Matt. We biked 25 miles down the coast and through Sandy Hook. I stole this picture from Bob:
And this beach was an interesting find…
One more day left, then back to Boston!

As some of you may remember (and by some of you, I refer exclusively to my mother), I was honored to be the second place finisher in the 2004 Global Student Entrepreneur Awards competition. Now, I’ve been asked to sit on the other side of the table as a judge for the SAGE competition to be held in New York City this Friday.
From the Press Release:
“More than 100 high school students from six states will be traveling to New York to try to become the USA SAGE champion and earn an invitation to represent their country at the SAGE World Cup in Shanghai.
High-school teams are judged on entrepreneurship, community outreach, civic engagement, environmental responsibility, use of college mentors and use of a business advisory board.”
Those values are very important to me, and I look forward to participating.

I posted a few test posts a few months ago while working out the kinks of the blog.
Now that the blog is indeed working, I look forward to posting more often.
By more often, I mean more than the once-every-6-months pace i’ve been at.
For more frequent posts, check out the Exclusive Concepts Blog.
