I was lucky enough to take Professor Firestone's Entrepreneurship class at Carleton University a few years ago. At that time, I had no idea who he was. Little did I know I was to be learning from an innovative Ottawa celebrity with a varied, rich business background. Professor Firestone's course was the spark for me to dive into the business world.
To learn more about Professor Firestone, take a look at his blog: www.EqJournal.org or follow him on Twitter at: www.Twitter.com/ProfBruce.
And if you really want to be fully prepared for this opportunity, you can do some advance reading. Prof Bruce has written extensively on the concept of a Personal Business for Life (PB4L) which you can download (as a Word doc) from: http://dramatispersonae.org/PB4LPersonalBusinessForLifeCEEDSpeechOct2009.doc
