Britnell Ventures CEO Sean Neville came to speak to my entrepreneurship class at Ithaca College. Usually that's a situation where the guest stands in front of the room and talks.
The Standard Stance
This time we decided to mix it up a little by making is a walking session. Though it was a cold day, it was sunny and clear.
Walking Clears the Head
We toured the new Athletics and Events Center and other buildings on campus. While we walked around campus, student entrepreneurs took turns sharing their business pitches with Sean, and discussing his thoughts on next steps.
Walking with our Feet, Talking with our Hands
We visited the Handwerker Art Gallery. Students talked about the inspiration for their business ideas. And the canvas they use is the Business Model Canvas.
Other Canvases
Finally, we strolled by the frozen water fountain. With cheeks rosy but energy refreshed, they also talked to one another and shared the feedback. Much of the learning comes from their peers as much as guest speakers.

Thanks Sean!. The students remarked that it was one of the most memorable guest speaker experiences they had been a part of.
