Very Short Interview, Part 2

1. First I like to preface this assignment with the fact that I did not complete the original visit with an entrepreneur. Timing did not work out for the entrepreneur so I sacrificed the grade. However, I figured this should not mean that I can't complete this next assignment. Rather I just did it in a different way. The entrepreneur I decided to interview is the Mayor of Fort Myers, my home town. Mayor Henderson has opened a real estate company and has also work as a  manager in multiple banks in Fort Myers. Here is the interview:


2.  Even though this was the first time talking to Mayor Henderson I felt like we were able to discuss topics about Fort Myers Economy for hours. He is a very interesting person. I think Mayor Henderson though highly of me and he reported that in his follow up email he sent me after our interview. I think by talking to him I have achieved a grasp on talking to connections and mentors in the industry of entrepreneurship.

  1. Kevin,
    That's so awesome that you got to interview the mayor! You conducted the interview very well and were very professional. I think it's also very neat that some of the goals that Mayor Henderson has is to renovate the older infrastructure in your Ft. Myers. I have personally visited Ft. Myers multiple times and it is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever been. Thanks so much for sharing!

  2. Your interview is very impressive. It is really important to speak to people of influence, who really end up choosing what kind of success is achievable in our community. I have asked in my interview how to overcome personal shortcoming. I wonder how people with influence view others who don’t as easily succeed in more profitable goals, but have other talents.
