Jim Kastama

Jim Kastama, an US senator in Washington state came to speak to our class. Right off the bat, i was struck by how captivating his voice sounded. He got the class involved by asking us to share our business idea, and how much our product/service would cost. We also talked about small markets vs large markets and what the cost details entailed that matter. We explored the advantages of small markets; small markets have fewer sales and larger services. Larger markets would have small price points because of the way the market fluctuates and also affordability.

Mr. Kastama also talked about how to be marketable in this industry and the importance of following your business guide by staying motivated. The great thing about Mr. Kastama is his stage presence and frankly i've been amazed with all the guest speakers. They have a way to grasp the attention of the audience and really keep them in tuned. I was fascinated by his presentation and the tone of his voice is easy to listen to. We also discussed the different levels of funding and how to receive funding. He talked about the different groups he was involved in and how he contributed in to the success of other companies.
