BREWING A DREAM
On Nov 2nd, Glendale Community College held its Fall 2017 Business Lecture Series.
This was a two part event that began with an entrepreneur meet & greet, followed by a moderated panel discussion.
The meet & greet brought local entrepreneurs and students together with the intent of creating a Glendale Entrepreneurial ecosystem. Over 20 entrepreneurs were present to provide support and encouragement for the students.
During the meet & greet we also had a photographer on site to take free head shots for students to add to their LinkedIn profiles or to use for other business needs.
Following the meet & greet we had our panel discussion, "Brewing A Dream". For the event we brought in two local Brewers, Kirk Nishikawa from Brewyard Brewery and Adam Hiner from Boochcraft Kombucha. Kirk and Adam discussed their journeys as entrepreneurs and provided advice/inspiration for students who are aspiring entrepreneurs.
Overall we had 300 students present for the panel discussion. We also had the school newspaper, radio club, and campus TV station cover the event.

This week, the value of a single bitcoin
officially cleared $10,000
, a new high point that’s over an order of magnitude greater than its price at the start of this year.
Bitcoin has defied market expectations before, but in 2017, it didn’t just become more valuable. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have become an acknowledged part of the financial system — albeit a nebulous one.
