Jim Kastama Visit

When Jim Kastama visited the class the other day, i got a real sense of the politics involved in a business.  Besides the fact that Kastama is a politician, when he was showing us his slide show with all the images, i was curious as to how many elbows he rubbed to get where he is.  I imagine that is how he became a politician.  Then afterwards, used his contacts to fund/grow his business.  Don't get me wrong, it is a smart move and it sounds like he knows what he is doing with his life.  But i felt like it was a little odd for him to speak to the class because not everyone is going to get the opportunities he got.

More about his lecture, he gave some great advice and he did a lot of cool things.  So he does strategic planning for other business to grow.  One of the businesses he did planning for was the 3 second microwave.  I thought the product was genius, and it was pretty neat to hear about.  Imagine if i could cook my ramen noodles in 3 seconds!  oh the possibilities could be endless with 3 second noods.
