They speak to how a Michigan Ross education has expanded their competence through finance and business classes in conjunction with the entrepreneurship resources at the Zell Lurie Institute. They speak to the challenges of balancing running a business while being a student, and leave listeners with the advice to never stop learning, networking, connecting, and further understanding their customers.
