Monday we start anew with new material.  I can't wait.

Marketing
Super Bowl Assignment

Product (Product Service Management) often involves hours and sometimes days of brainsorming concerning what will your product be.  Once this is taken care of, usually a model/concept is drawn/created and then the fun starts with trying to find others/a company to buy the idea from you or at the very least (as in Shark Tank) fund your idea.

When these are not viable options, the internet has heard our cries for financing blessing and smiled down to us.  In this case, we are going to explore the world of Kickstarter.  Some of the ideas are crap, but others actually pull at my wallet strings and make me wish I could help fund their adventures.
