When former NC State quarterback Mike Glennon founded his virtual coaching platform Emulate Sport, he quickly learned how difficult it is to get a startup off the ground. But he also learned how much potential there was to make money - if the startup was successful. Today, Glennon and Jon Carr, Professor of Entrepreneurship, talk about the hard truths of entrepreneurship, and how the clinical model at the NC State Entrepreneurship Clinic is helping students to "fail safe" to better prepare them for their next chapter.
Jon Carr is a Professor of Entrepreneurship and chair of the Department of Management, Innovation, & Entrepreneurship at North Carolina State University.
Mike Glennon, a 2011 Poole College graduate, is now entering his tenth season in the NFL currently with the NY Giants. He's also the co-founder of Emulate Sports.
The Poole Podcast is hosted by Jenny Hammond, the CMO at Poole College. This is a production of Earfluence.
