I’ve talked to a few seniors recently about the transition from student life to the ‘real world’ and I think it’s important for employers to remember that there’s a huge emotional - and often physical - transition process that students go through when they close their course books for the final time. Obviously, there’s the economic issue of ensuring that you have money coming in to pay the bills. But there’s also the personal component of being ripped from a large group of friends, often being dumped into a new city or location, and having to come up to speed with a new day-to-day reality. And yet employers still expect new starters to hit the ground running. That’s despite the fact that even the most seasoned new employee takes 180 days or so to come up to ‘full productivity’. So imagine what it’s like for a student in their first job. It’s little surprise that outstanding students like Arden Jordan would describe the transition as bittersweet. There’s certainly excitement at the start of life in ‘the real world’ but there’s genuine apprehension too. That’s why we created the Boldsquare residency, to take away some of that mystique of the workplace, and not just provide marketing skills to students but also give them a sense of what it will be like to work in an agency environment. The Boldsquare residents will still need to make the adjustment from campus to workplace, but hopefully the shift is faster and more effective. That’s good for employers, and it’s good for new graduates too.

Feeling empowered for sure! 🙌🏽 From interning in publishing to now the A&E industry, one thing is for certain, and that's no matter where you start or are headed, your skills are transferrable. Never fear that where you currently are is where you'll forever be, or that you can't switch things up if you choose. 💜 We are all in a constant state of evolution, for better or worse. You have all the power to drive your life in the direction you wish to go! Believe that. Lean into it. And keep moving forward. #careerdevelopment #dontunderestimateyourworth #becoming

There are only two metros that entered 2024 with more occupied office space than before the pandemic: 1. West Palm Beach 2. Las Vegas WPB is averaging sub-10% vacancy across all submarkets. This has led to an average rent growth of 2.6% over the last 12 months and 22.4% over the past 3 years. The South Florida market is dynamic, fast-paced, and volatile for tenants. McCann Commercial helps occupiers: • Identify opportunities for new office space • Ensure favorable terms upon renewing in existing space • Securing space for start-up firms • Need to expand, contract, or reconfigure existing space Great research from Sajan Blum who just kicked off his summer internship with the McCann team up in Philly!

This semester, I had the opportunity to work with Big Sky Rentals, a company striving to tear down barriers to entry in outdoor sports by providing high-quality outdoor gear at a fraction of the price of retail. I would like to specifically thank my supervisor, Tyler McKay, for challenging and investing in me this semester.    Did you know that hunting and fishing provide roughly $150B per year to the US economy? This is a huge number, but because of the high costs of the necessary gear, many are prohibited from trying hunting or fishing. Not to mention, transporting gear is a hassle and storing it can be a nightmare, cluttering your closets, garage, bedroom, etc. For those who are new to a sport or might be joining a friend for a first-time trip, the thought of spending thousands on space-stealing gear that they may never use again can be extremely daunting.    Big Sky reduces entry costs, keeps gear out of your garage, and provides convenience by shipping gear to wherever the customer is going. With Big Sky, it's as simple as rent, receive, return.    The startup environment is unique because of the continually changing environment that requires quick decisions and innovation to be successful. Since the start of working with Big Sky, I have worked on several projects and created multiple tangible materials for the company based on market and industry research. One of these materials is the one-pager included in this post.    During my internship, I was tasked with several projects that I had never encountered before. Each of these exercises put tangible experience behind classroom principles and challenged me to learn several new skills such as how to research and synthesize information, how to create a survey, and how to create effective pitch materials. One of the pitch materials that I created is the one-pager attached to this post.   In additional to these skills, I am taking away a greater appreciation for the innovation that is required of businesses within the outdoor industry and a deeper understanding of the daily activities that drive business decisions.    Thank you again to Tyler McKay for leading me this semester and to the #VIPintern Program for providing the opportunity to work with Big Sky.

“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity," said Seneca. It is tricky, tireless work to ensure a #familybusiness has the governance needed to preserve family harmony, AND run a great, enduring business for generations. It's a lot lot easier to align when the business is small, because those who needs to know are either in the break room or at the kitchen table. When you have grown into the #1 Refrigerated Tea Brand in America and the fastest growing lemonade like we have at Milo's Tea Company, Inc., it takes a thriving ecosystem of remarkable coaches, advisors, independent directors, and thoughtful TEAm members to drive exceptional governance. One big piece of governance is education and succession planning for NextGens and spouses that married in. So, when we were all in #Birmingham for Thanksgiving a few weeks ago, we hosted a Family Meeting with owners, spouses, and kids led by advisors and key TEAmmates. What do you do at a Family Meeting? Business, first, of course. We educate about our company, industry, and governance. This meeting, we enjoyed a plant tour of our #Homewood manufacturing and distribution center. Then, we met about the duties and responsibilities of ownership. We acknowledged that the duties for family members to interact with the business are even greater that other associates. And, we shared the reality that it's not just going to be "inherit," there has to be merit, hard work, and contribution to be ready, and to overcome assumptions that DNA got you a job, an internship, or an opportunity. Next up, had to be a little fun too so we headed to Topgolf for a some healthy competition on the course. (Yes, I lost 🤣 ). It's important to talk to kids early about family business because this is a very long journey. I'm not sure what will happen with my kiddos. But I am sure that it's the right thing to educate loudly, repeatedly, and early-on that with great opportunity comes even greater responsibility. If you're not ready when that opportunity comes, it will fly past you, especially if it is on a rocket ship like Milo's. What do you do to help yourself or others be game day ready if that opportunity comes? #BrewingALegacy #DrinkMilos Carlton Wallwork

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

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
