Hello! I'm Parker Schmidt, an entrepreneur with a rich background in startups and business management. I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, where I was the President of the Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization. My journey includes co-founding successful ventures like Freshline Keto Market and Hive Central, and holding strategic roles in innovative startups such as Micronet and Curby. I have over five years of hands-on experience in business development, customer experience, and community building. At Freshline Keto Market, I grew the business by leveraging customer feedback and social media, resulting in a strong community of loyal customers. At Hive Central, I led product development initiatives, secured funding through accelerator programs, and built strong relationships with beekeepers and industry professionals. I'm passionate about helping students master business concepts and navigate various markets. My teaching approach is practical and based on real-world experiences, making complex business topics accessible and engaging. I specialize in areas such as business strategy, market research, customer relations, negotiations, and presentations. In my free time, I enjoy exploring new technologies, understanding human behavior, and connecting with others to build strong communities. Let's work together to elevate your business skills and achieve your academic and professional goals!
