"Even though it's my Freshman Year,

Participating in the Love's Cup business plan competition was the best college experience so far.

We probably stayed up past 2am working on the business plan several nights in a row.

But it was worth it

Because now I have a better understanding of what it takes to launch a venture that addresses a real issue millions are faced with." - Blake Toves

Consistent massive action over a long period of time will always yield remarkable results that change the planet.

Wise words from Jeff-Bezos
