Very Short Interview No. 1

 For my very short interview I interviewed my father's longtime business partner, Bernard Junkert. He has specialized in all fields culinary alongside my father for over 20 years. From the creation of new products to work on a Menu Innovator that predicts food trends of the future (and works efficiently).

1.What does it mean to be an entrepreneur?

Fundamentally it means that you want to rule your own destiny. Live or fail based on your own ideas. Champion your own ideas and make them work in a marketplace.

2. What do you wish had been taught in school before setting out on your own path as an entrepreneur?

I would've liked to have a better understanding of the world of finance and how to raise money.

3. What do you think I should learn in an entrepreneurship course?

How to start a business, learn how to take an idea to a market and profit off the idea. A lot of people have ideas but they don't know how to implement them because they lack the marketing and financial skills to do so.


 Something I learned was the emphasis that was put on marketing and finance. I could have the best idea ever, But if I don't know how to specifically implement idea then there will never be any progress. Nothing was particularly surprising besides that, however I like the idea of "ruling my own destiny" and how it was worded. Puts a new perspective on things.
