Re: NextGen Conference – January 12th, 2011

Thanks for your comment, Eric! My goal was to pick extraordinary speakers.
I look up to all of the speakers, and I am confident that they will be able
to influence everyone in the audience. To answer your question about the
format, I am still experimenting with conference formats. At the last
NextGen Conference, there were two panels, a business plan competition, and
a few keynotes. This year's NextGen Conference consists of four keynotes,
one panel, and an Ignite Session. I'll ask for audience feedback after this
conference to make the next NextGen Conference even better! Hope my
response answered your questions. See you on Wednesday!

Re: Taking on Too Many Projects as a Teen Entrepreneur

Cory Levy — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 12:13:56 -0000

Spencer - I recently arrived back in the sates from a month long trip. So, I just now read this post.

"It’s better to do a few projects really well than to be involved with everything but do nothing really well." - this says it all. I find it difficult to say "no" sometimes, but it is so important.

I recently had a fellow teen entrepreneur join one of my projects. This teen had too much on his plate and was aware that he had too much on his plate. Nevertheless, this teen said "yes" to my project when he should have said "thanks for the offer, but no thanks". In retrospect, I should have asked this teen to simply advise me instead of join me.

Lastly, I would be happy to advise you (and other teen entrepreneurs) on any of your projects.

-Cory

I saw this interesting tweet yesterday from @bencasnocha

Overheard: "The problem in education is that we have educators running the school systems. Pilots are not CEOs of the airline companies"

Re: iPad: First Overhyped, Now Underestimated

Cory Levy — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 21:32:42 -0000

The one criterion the iPad does not meet is by far one of the most valuable in my opinion: "I would like the slate to not be tied to a person. Instead, when you could pick up any slate in the house, select your icon and be where you left off. Ideally, there would also be an obvious guest mode. So you can leave the slate around the house the same way you might leave books or magazines." Hopefully the next version will have this.

Thanks, Sam!!

People should attach a "Failure Resume" to their standard resume. This "Failure Resume" should mention all of your biggest screw ups and the lessons you have learned from those screw ups.

Re: How Many Times A Day Do I Visit Facebook?

Cory Levy — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 20:23:38 -0000

Interesting post. I am always on Facebook (but that's the norm in high school ;-) ).

I gave up on my Google Reader about a year ago. It was simply too many feeds and impossible to manage.

I would love for you to share my new blog post, and I am curious to hear your thoughts and comments: www.corylevy.com . It's a guest post tilted "So, you think you should go to engineering school?" written by a University of Illinois student. I know you studied business at the U of I and at Emory (two schools that I am seriously considering). This is why I am especially looking forward to hearing about your experiences. Thanks!

That is a great quote! Avery - definitely keep in touch!

Re: So, you think I should go to engineering school?

Cory Levy — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 20:14:14 -0000

At beginning of my high school years, I thought that I would study business in college. My academic study all really depends on what school I attend. Over the years, I have learned that It is easier to teach an engineer the fundamentals of business through experience and practice than to teach the nuts and bolts of engineering to a businessman.
