About the Presenters:  
Rod Hosilyk & Matt Westfield are “real world” entrepreneurs who have been there and done it all – and are still doing it! Both are CEO’s of their current companies and on boards of other companies. And although they teach these topics in University Executive MBA programs, they talk about real world experiences – what worked and what didn’t…and why, in easily understood terms, not highly theoretical ideas that are difficult to understand and implement. The focus is on starting and/or building a business for success focusing on marketing, customer acceptance, product viability, validating the marketplace, etc. rather than on determining legal structures such as partnerships, LLC, corporations, etc.
