This was the week I attended my first session, and honestly, very low expectations in what I would get out of it since we were still going with Kellen’s homeless survival kit idea (I’m just along for the ride at this point)
In the session, we were learning how to use the Business Model Canvas, and Rahul gave us some scenarios for practice, one of them being a thousand dollars and a bike as resources. The funny thing is that we got our blog name from this session. (Long story on why this stuck out to us, but it’s a story for another time)
At the end of the session, we were talking to Rahul and getting to know him and we started talking about this other business idea we had (which stemmed into the current one we have now), he asked us “why aren’t you doing this instead?”. We thought to ourselves, why aren’t we doing this instead? This actually wasn’t a bad idea since we’ve now found something we’re both passionate about and it’s our area of “speciality”. So now we’re both on the same train of thought instead of Kellen being on the train alone, and I, following along in my car….lol
It was also in this session we met another person named Leon. We told him about our idea and he was telling us what he did etc. you know.. the usual. We got to the topic of discussing names for some reason and we were like to him “what do you think Kellen looks like?”. Leon said “something like a crab”, which is funny because this pose is what she does all the time… From them on, we knew that we’d get along just fine.
Honestly wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for this program, but we’ve still got a long way to go.
