Guest Speaker: Justin Atwater Taylor
This was a cool experience; to see someone who graduated from KU's venture in the real world. I thought his ideas for his company was interesting because I frequently played disc golf in high school back home. His company makes disc golf accessories, mainly bags. They make these bags for avid disc golfers who need a way to hold many discs while they are walking the course. I believe his bags were made of a nylon material. The prototypes that he showed were incredible, and it was really cool to see his process from step one to his final bag that is on the market today. The bags, to me, seem a little overpriced but they are definitely grade A quality and if you are a true disc golf connoisseur then you would be obliged to spend the money for this bag. He said they've sold about 3,000 bags this year which is remarkable, especially at $200 a piece. He gave some great advice and it inspired me to be as driven as he was with my career ventures.
