I’m not a fan of the phrase “favorite student” but I do like celebrating the successess of ALL my students, and after 22 years I know of a few 🥇 and they are the “memorable” ones, the ones who never stop being a student, who know that experiencal “failure” is the only true path to success, otherwise it is all theory with no application. They are often the ones receptive to building an entrepreneurial MINDSET/SKILL SET. Guest speakers spark their imagination, and I nurture their creativity and confidence. I also teach collaboration skills and hold students accountable for their success. The concept of “grading” is fading fast, I prefer the portfolio approach and grade the project AND the process. Students also peer and self assess. The weekly reflection is my usual go-to. And yes, I still have to turn in those A’s and B’s with an occasional C, D or F. If you get below a B it is not my fault btw. Some students (and parents) still see good GPA’s (aka Godly Professor A’s) as the path to a great ROI, and turn to US News and Reports as their “financial advisor.” But a better way to think about “investing in someone’s future” is to learn about what those “creative kids” are up too. News flash, they are not all art students but most of mine are. Granted, less are Art History majors, most are Studio who take an art history class or two! Chris Sainato was one such student. After Modern Art and a paper on Russian Revolution Graphic Posters, he took my Business of Art and Entrepreneurship. I had to wait till after I got the “golden ring” to unwed myself from worrying about what others think and develop this course, yes, I got tenure in 2008. I have to admit, it felt good to title my course with those two words; I can’t tell you the number of times I heard “we’re not a business school, you are teaching at a Liberal Arts College Lorraine.” Some I knew had not yet wrapped their head around teaching #entrepreneurship and that was ok. But the students….that was a whole different story. Class had waiting lists, taught it every other year now every year for past four and may teach 2 x a year given the demand. But I digress….this is not about me being spiteful, holding grudges or complaining or any of that, who has time !? It’s about the STUDENT. And the ones who are happy (THAT is what success looks like) they tend to be the creative, compassionate, kind and dedicated ones, not deterred by the naysayers, the “what are you going to do with an art degree?” kind. No, these are the students who knew that hard work is not a sprint but a marathon. The students who knew it might take a few years to get to the “starting pay of a STEM grad” (also a myth btw). But at the end of the day, I do have “favorites” and they are the ones who make me a better Professor. And here is one such former #Union student. Congratulations Chris. You have no idea how much joy this brings me!! Bravo my friend, bravo! Can’t wait to see what you and your team do next. 🏆🐳🌊⛵️👏✌🏼

The Nike world is buzzing. Donahoe's retirement, Hill's homecoming. My messages and feeds are a whirlwind of change. 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲. 𝗛𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹. 𝗜𝘁 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲. 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺, 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. ——— I try to reserve Friday’s for reflection and sitting in possibility.. Today, while catching up with old friends, I shared my "What's next?" moment. Their response? "Take that hard step. We're rooting for you." There's a dream that won't let go: Building a world where 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 and businesses thrive together. Helping individuals find their voice, and guiding companies to 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲-𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 success. That's where my hope fuels action. ——— So… For Nike & for me, (𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙖𝙮𝙗𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙤𝙤), the race starts now. Change is the starter pistol. Be uncomfortable as you embrace those ambitious goals and claim your space in possibility. Let's not just hope – let's make it happen. 🌟 What bold move are you ready to make? How will you embrace change in your life or business? I'm here to support both personal and business transformations. Feeling the itch to shake things up? Drop me a DM. Let's chat about where you want to go.

Proud to be preserving the legacy and tradition of leather and shoemaking in the USA! Most of our Heritage products, like this Beckman boot, originated in the 1920's -1950's, and represents the best of our American values of quality and craftsmanship. Both Leather and shoemaking are craft manufacturing industries requiring a delicate balance of art and science. Unlike plastic or metal, we are working with leather, one of nature's most variable materials. To be successful, it requires a highly skilled workforce having their hands, head and heart actively engaged with the product. It's not the machine that makes our boots, it's the person behind the machine... and this human element is the most critical part of the process.
