-: Yeah, my time at Temple really allowed us
to do what we're doing at Stratus Labs.
I was very heavily involved with
the Entrepreneurship Club here at Temple,
and the Temple Institute of Entrepreneurship,
and those gave us the tools and resources, number one,
to start building on an idea and turning into a business.
And then we actually competed in the Be Your Own Boss Bowl
in 2016 and 2017, which allowed us
to actually get some funding as well to build our product.
So it was really instrumental in us being able to start
the company that we're now building.
From that perspective,
and then also from an educational perspective,
getting to travel to China,
getting to travel to South America,
getting better sense of those global business environments
also helps me today when we're thinking about
doing work in another country and we're actually
in an accelerated program based in Hong Kong,
which before an MBA and before my experience in China,
I might not have been as open to doing,
but I understood that it was a good opportunity for us to do
So those types of experiences at Temple really helped
to shape what we're doing now at Stratus.
