How impactful can one introductory conversation be? It can be the catalyst for solving the biggest challenge you may be facing. Thanks to an introduction by Scott Ford, I had the pleasure of meeting Erick Mueller, the Executive Director of Entrepreneurship & Innovation at the University of Colorado Boulder - Leeds School of Business. During our intro conversation, after a bit of swapping startup stories, Erick asked me a simple yet profound question: "Ryan, what is the biggest challenge you are facing?" I shared the challenge of engaging faculty in promoting the UCI ANTrepreneur Center to UCI undergraduate students across all majors. Erick smiled and shared his approach to a similar challenge at his school. Inspired, I brought this strategy back to UCI, talking with Michael Dennin, Danny Mann, Ph.D., Michelle Khine, Larry Wilk, Quan Nguyen, and others sparking new conversations and ideas. Today, I'm excited to announce the launch of a new program designed to deepen faculty involvement in fostering undergraduate entrepreneurship at UCI. So, the next time you're on an introductory call, I dare you to ask about the person's biggest challenge. You might just inspire—or be inspired by—a solution that could make a significant impact.
