Very Short Interview Part 2 (Week 14)

For this assignment, I got back in touch with Lisa Rubinstein, who has served at her public relations and communications company for nearly 12 years. Looking back on our first interview, I think her definition of entrepreneurship as "being clever and aware of how best to use your skills to create a business that can support your lifestyle" still rings true. 

I contacted Ms. Rubinstein last week in anticipation of this assignment, and I asked her the following questions: Has the way you think about entrepreneurship changed over time, and if so, how? Please describe the first time you knowingly practiced entrepreneurship or utilized an entrepreneurial skill/technique? How can entrepreneurship be applied to not-for-profit organizations? Unfortunately, I was unable to record the interview, but I so appreciated her willingness to help. 

In our first interview, Ms. Rubinstein said, "Don't hesitate to ask for help or call on people who have offered to help. They mean it." Therefore, I felt very comfortable arranging this follow-up interview. It may be that I felt comfortable communicating with her because I already knew her before reaching out to her for this class, or it could could be a result of my growth as a student and an entrepreneur this semester.

  1. I believe part of your interview is missing? I'm not really sure where the latter part of the questions are. I'm glad you were able to reach back out to her, I hope she was able to answer the questions you had.

  2. Hello Isa,

    I believe that you forgot to complete the rest of this assignment or I'm just not following. Other than that, she is a great addition to your social capital and you should keep in touch with her. She makes a great point, people wouldn't offer a lending hand if they didn't mean it. I'm glad you felt comfortable contacting her.

    Unfortunately, I did not complete this assignment. You can check out my blog here: http://stthach.blogspot.com/

  3. Hey, I was unable to load some stuff to, but it is good that you did your assignment. I find it to be true what she said. You really do have to be "in-tune" with yourself and not lie to yourself. You do need to find your special talents/skills in order to create the life you want to live.
