Get to know our team! Today we are featuring Lucas Greenberg our summer intern from Case Western Reserve University! What do you do at UH Ventures in one sentence? - I've been interning with Matthew Zenker and the new UH Haslam Sports Innovation Center with their incoming deal flow. I research, analyze, and compile a variety of data and information to assess sports-medicine and health companies/markets to help accelerate and invest in them. I'm also working on the upcoming SportsLand event with Patricia Colella, MBA, by helping out in all areas of event management. What are your favorite things to do outside of school? - I love to exercise and try new workouts, but more importantly, I love to eat. During COVID, I began cooking and baking as a way to unwind; I try to make a meal four times a week. My favorite dish to make is my grandfather’s shrimp and pea risotto. Favorite binge-worthy TV show? - The Office. I have seen The Office over five times and I can quote certain scenes by heart! What is your favorite restaurant in Cleveland? - Batuqui; a fun Brazilian summer dinner spot. What do you love about Cleveland? - I was born and raised all around Cleveland, and throughout my time, there has been one constant: the people. Everyone from Cleveland has a unique and inspiring story, and I love meeting people from around the world. #Internship #HealthTech #Innovation #EventManagement #Innovation #CareerDevelopment #ProfessionalGrowth #Cleveland

Believe it or not, but about 95% of this video can be classified as work-related! My 3-month internship at CuttingRoom ended last Friday, and I’m beyond grateful to have worked in this start-up environment. I grew professionally, and there were so many opportunities to just have fun while doing the work. Being partnered with Jenny, a Norwegian intern, is one of the main reasons this experience was as valuable as it was. Not only did I make a friend, but we’ve both learned much about good and clear communication to be on the same page. Together, we worked on an issue that CuttingRoom was facing: the lack of easily accessible information on the strengths of using CuttingRoom and how to use it. We believed this was an obstacle in the company’s aim to move away from sales-driven growth and toward product-led growth. Although we struggled a bit to find our feet at first, we ended up creating nearly 40 explainer videos. These videos will be used to improve the user experience, and to show decision-makers the strengths of CuttingRoom. Jenny and I had complete responsibility for this project, so we were involved in the littlest details of planning and creating the videos, but always had to keep the big picture in mind — how would all these videos fit together and how would it contribute to CuttingRoom? My time at CuttingRoom has been super enriching. It’s shown me that I can do anything when I take the time to learn. Something I’ve really appreciated about Norwegian business culture is the high trust and lack of informal hierarchy — what I did mattered and what I said mattered. A massive thanks to Helge for being our mentor, and teaching us a lot about video editing. I had a great time working with you and the rest of the guys (Vidar, Glenn, and Tor Erik). We made this fun video about our experience as interns at CuttingRoom. We hope you enjoy it, especially the song we created through an AI prompt 😂 (Side note: there was a pool competition between Jenny and I. She has admitted defeat… but in reality, if we hadn’t made the rule to discount any games where someone (aka me) lost by pocketing the white ball after the black ball, she would’ve been way ahead of me 😂)

Sit and think for a few moments about how you handle your conversations? How much talking are you doing? Most of you won't have the luxury of being a total newbie so that you can just shut up because you don't know what to say. Most who read this will have lots of experience or at least enough to be considered a knowledgeable source in your industry. Take some time today to sit and think through how much listening you've done in your conversations lately. If you feel like you've been pitching a lot, then you probably been talking too much. Today go be a human; go be friendly. #peopleskills #sales

From pricing strategy to 'Bend and Snap' churros, this internship has it all. Analytical economics major Sofia Menyalkin '25 let us tag along for an evening in her life as a management intern with Prescott Park Arts Festival in Portsmouth, NH! 🎭 💬 Read Sofia's take on her internship experience... I'm helping run the show at a nonprofit arts festival this summer! We're all about making music and arts more inclusive and accessible to the general public. My main job: directing the whole team at The Prop, which serves all kinds of food to festival patrons. It's definitely been a crash course in management - keeping everyone on track, handling the rush of orders, and making sure our customers leave happy. And the Prop isn't just a food stand - it's the main revenue driver for Prescott Park Arts Festival. Talk about real-world impact! My UNH classes definitely prepared me for this mix of Excel spreadsheets and people: 🏷️ Creating pricing strategies (thanks, Econ 401!) 🧾 Analyzing sales data 👆Managing day-to-day operations 💕 Providing great customer service! I love the autonomy. I have a lot of control over how we do things! And seeing how that plays out sales-wise has been really interesting. And yes, I got to invent the "Bend and Snap" churro sticks for Legally Blonde! Who said economics majors can't be creative? 🎬 I've also learned a lot about juggling priorities – you need both people skills and business background for a job like this. But my biggest takeaway has been that I love the cause. This internship has shown me I can blend analytics with purpose-driven work. Living in Portsmouth for the summer has been amazing. I'm discovering a whole new side of the Seacoast. The festival is already looking for their next intern, so let me plug them real quick. If you want something that's close to campus, fun, AND great experience, you should reach out! You'll gain real-world experience while supporting local arts. What could be better? Honestly, I never expected to love working at a nonprofit arts festival this much. But between the analytics, the creativity, and the awesome community impact, I'm having a blast. UNH Peter T.

Howdy all, In early 2023, I took a leap of faith and started my own social media marketing and content creation business, Texas Tornado Creative, based in the beautiful Texas Wine Country, Fredericksburg, TX. I proudly specialize in small business social media marketing and am always looking forward to developing myself, my brand, and my clients. Initially, I didn’t post about this venture because I wanted to see how it would play out. Soon enough, I became too busy to manage it all, but becoming self-employed quickly became the best decision I ever made for myself. I am honored to work with 3 amazing clients: Savy Ray’s Boutique: A high-volume boutique on Main Street in Historic Fredericksburg, my first client in the Texas Hill Country. Grand Central at Milam: A brand new, local village market and event center. This is my passion project because I share an amazing vision with the owners, who are exceptionally magnificent people. Covington Cellars: A 20+ year old production out of Washington State that opened a tasting room in the TX Hill Country, right outside of Hye, TX. With award-winning Texas and Washington wines and unmatched Hill Country views, it’s a five-star wine tasting room on the 290 Wine Trail. This is a huge moment for me and my business. One of my clients (Covington Cellats) is flying me out to Seattle this weekend to do several lifestyle and event photoshoots for their marketing content. I’m very excited and quite anxious about the venture. 📸 Recently, I hired an intern/social media assistant who is a senior at Schreiner University, out of Kerrville, TX, studying marketing. Since taking this leap of being self-employed and especially since hiring Sarah, I’ve been much happier and had much more flexibility with my young family. Unsolicited advice: I highly recommend my fellow business owners make contact with the local college’s internship department for an introduction to students who want to be part of their local internship program. From my experience, these college students are looking for college credit and mine creates quality ROI. Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey. Here’s to more growth and success ahead! 🌟 #Entrepreneur #SmallBusiness #SocialMediaMarketing #ContentCreation #FredericksburgTX #SelfEmployed #WorkLifeBalance #Grateful #TexasHillCountry #Marketing #Internship

Reflecting on the conclusion of my internship journey at Farm Alert, I can't help but feel a whirlwind of emotions. This company has truly become my second home, a place where inspiration, education, fun, and motivation intertwine seamlessly. One of the most remarkable aspects of my experience was gaining insight into the visionary mind of our CEO, Dr. Kayode Femi. Observing his strategic thinking and problem-solving approach has been invaluable to my personal and professional growth. Farm Alert isn't just a workplace; it's a fertile ground for personal and professional development. The tranquil environment fosters success, and the relentless pursuit of self-improvement ensures that every individual who walks through those doors leaves transformed in one way or another. I must extend my heartfelt gratitude to individuals like Dr. Nancy Eni-Otu and Mr.Jeremiah Shiaka , who guided me through unfamiliar territories such as sales and marketing, enriching my skill set along the way. Additionally, the unwavering support from the media team, including Chisom Gabriella Nnamdi and Emmanuel, played a pivotal role in boosting my confidence and skills behind the camera. To the entire Farm Alert team - from Mrs. Grace to Dr. ZAINAB ABDULLAHI BIU Dr. Janet, Dr. Elizabeth Mr. FED, and beyond - thank you for your boundless generosity with knowledge. Your collective efforts have made an indelible mark on my growth journey. As I bid farewell to this chapter, I carry with me invaluable lessons and memories. Farm Alert, you have undoubtedly left an indelible imprint on my journey of personal growth and development and I'm hoping for yet another opportunity to work with this great team. #PersonalGrowth #Development #LinkedInForCreators #Internship #GrowthJourney 🌱🚀
