Reading Reflection

I chose the book about Elon Musk because I felt like this was almost outside my interests and if it wasn't for this class I wouldn't read it so I figured it might be interesting. The thing that surprises me the most about Elon Musk and this book was that he didn't grow up rich or even have "successes" in his childhood. He faced hardships and this is very admirable considering what he has become today. It was surprising to me that he grew through that. I had always assumed he came from money. I think it was confusing to hear that he was a little bit braggish or narcisistic towards some people which was not admirable, but I do think overall his character was true and good through the article. I loved how Musk had the go getter attitude. I would hope to say I have a similar mindset, to where when I see a problem or issue in the world, I am not afraid to face it and try to come up with solutions for a better future. This competency was very inspiring to read, and I relate to this and hope I can be something like this throughout my life. There weren't many parts of the article I didn't understand. I could say I was surprised by the adversity he overcame, but nothing really confused me about his story. If I could ask him questions, I would ask how he continues to come up with ways to solve world issues, and how to not be discouraged with all the negativity and disparity in the world.

Elevator Pitch 3

https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCuctrHd0VYW4bwCPZd9qkAQ/videos/upload?d=ud&filter=%5B%5D&sort=%7B%22columnType%22%3A%22date%22%2C%22sortOrder%22%3A%22DESCENDING%22%7D I did not get comments on my last elevator pitch so I don't know what I can go off for for that question. I think I changed how I approached the camera as well as how I talked and confidence levels. I tried to make more eye contact and speak with a better and more clear voice.

Creating a Customer Avatar

My customer avatar could be a wide range of people, but if I had to be specific about who my customer was, this is what I'd imagine they would be. My customer doesn't have to be in a specific age range, but probably someone who is over 30 and is working multiple jobs. I would imagine they are hard working and try to save as much money as they can, so if this means using a bike to get to work or not having a car, they would do it. My customer avatar may have a family, probably with a few kids, but my customer avatar would probably not have a significant other or else they would be better off financially. I think my customer avatar also in her free time would be cooking and cleaning and doing things they have to get done because they wouldn't be able to afford a lot of free time. I would think that my customer is a democrat,, considering most people who live in California are and also anyone who is struggling to afford the housing there would support democrats trying to give ...

Whats Next

The next step is to implement lots that have cheaper housing so that people with lower incomes still have places to live. I didn't necessarily get a chance to talk to homeless people in California, but I did talk to people like real estate as well as people who have studied the topic in the area. The general next steps to make the product possible would be to talk to the governing body in California, and set up where these places would go. Also to contact any non-profit organizations that could help. In a different market, these places could be used as immigration centers as well. We shouldn't be holding people under terrible conditions and if this could be a way for people to get the things they need and be checked than it may work. This topic is very controversial, but making shelters like this could be a huge help if it was done the right way. At the moment there are places like this, but they don't neccesarily serve the right purpose or treat people well. I think from ...
