(My dog cried until I let him in the room with me, so pardon any bulldog snores you might hear.)

    Hey Peyton!! You had a great video and it was super creative. You are so right in some hotels or even rooms the lighting is not the best and this invention or business plan would definitely solve the issue that many woman face. Loved your business wear and you seemed excited to talk about your product. Hopefully this comes true. I would so buy it.

    Hey Peyton, I enjoyed the pitch! I think that your product would be a great idea to a problem that many women struggle with. I know I’ve found that my girlfriends has had issues with this whenever we travel and she even didn’t like our house originally because of the lighting in the bathroom. I think your idea would be a great product!

Assignment 2: Bug List

1. Plastic bags can't be put in home recycling bins. WHY IT EXISTS: Plastic bags can be recycled, but they have a different sorting process than other common plastics. There are plastic bag recycling bins at most grocery stores, but it's more of a bother to go all the way to a grocery store than to throw the bags in with the rest of the home recycling. 2. Not being able to find a bathroom in New York City. WHY IT EXISTS: There are very few public restrooms in NYC, and the few that exist are for paying customers only. I can't tell you how many packs of gum I've bought just so I can use the bathroom. The things I saw in one particular Starbucks bathroom in Times Square will haunt me forever. 3. Astronomical carry-on fees. WHY IT EXISTS: Airlines like Spirit get you with dirt-cheap flight prices, then charge ridiculous fees for a carry-on. At the end of the day, you could just buy a ticket with Delta or JetBlue that comes with a free carry-on and actually have a pleas...

Assignment 25: What's Next?

Existing Market What I think is next: Assuming the launch goes well, people are buying from my website, and the mirrors make their way to the shelves of Sephora and Ulta, I think my customers will want different shaped mirrors next. Some might want a full-length mirror to get the whole outfit in, some might a small mirror to keep on their desk, etc. I also think we can start making different colors and border designs to fit different room aesthetics. After all, a room with a rustic feel and a room with a mod feel are going to need two very different mirrors.  Interviews:  Boy, my predictions for what's next for my market couldn't be further from what my interviewees saw as the future of my brand. I know that this is the point of doing assignments like these, but I'm always both shocked and impressed by how far my interviewees' answers seem to be from my expectations. I interviewed a few more of my friends who are into beauty and skincare, I will say that all of them...

Assignment 5: Identifying Local Opportunities

1. "Orlando region rank No. 2 for new HIV diagnoses among large U.S. cities" by Naseem Miller for the Orlando Sentinel Summary: The Orlando region saw 730 new cases of HIV in 2017, the second highest number of diagnoses among large U.S. cities. Contributing factors include Orlando's rising population, lack of access to health care and transportation, lack of education, poverty, and stigma. There is legislation waiting to be signed by the governor that would allow drug users to exchange their dirty needles for clean ones, which would help with the problem. The Trump administration aims to eliminate HIV in the next decade, but proposed to roll back protections against discrimination in health care for LGBTQ people.  The problems: The HIV prevalence rate is alarmingly high in the Orlando area and not much is being done by the local and national governments to alleviate it. The causes of new HIV cases are rooted in longstanding socioeconomic disparities. Finding solutio...
