>> My name's Dan Law, I'm the vice president of business development at Thrill Mill Inc.
We're an incubator and accelerator located in East Liberty.
We offer office space, consultation, resources, funding,
and an opportunity to grow entrepreneurs.
We have different forms of busy in the start up world.
It's not, it's not cut and dry.
It's definitely not a routine basis.
So, you know, as the term business development has very different facets multiple facets to it.
So, you know, one day I'm working on fund raising, I'm developing grants,
I'm looking at funding sources and revenue streams from the organization.
The next day I'm doing strategic planning.
And, the next day, I'm planning a major innovation and music festival.
It's really not what you would consider a typical 9 to 5.
In fact I would argue that the 9 to 5 doesn't exist anymore
and it certainly doesn't exist in the entrepreneur realm.
New ideas don't pop into somebody's head at 9am and they don't leave somebody's head at 5pm.
That just is the way it is.
So, in turn, I think you have a, you have a reflection in the way work styles happen,
in the way your career trajectory occurs in a lot of young professional's lives.
So, you know, when I get into the office, it's not something like okay I'm going to sit here,
I'm going to do 5 to 7 core tasks every single day.
It's more of like, okay, I think I have a lot of these concrete things I'm going to do.
But, a lot of these haven't even been contextualized yet.
A lot of the challenges and opportunities that are facing our organization are required of me,
it's required of me to go find those and to really be a, you know, an intuitive
and demonstrative problem solver, not a problem identifier.
