Dr. Sharon Kerrick might not tell you this, but she is one of the world’s best mentors for entrepreneurs and students looking to make massive change. I know. I learned from her at the University of Louisville in their top ranked Entrepreneurship program. And it isn’t just me that can speak to her impact as a mentor and teacher. She has advised and coached hundreds of business startups as well as been on the advising team for two MBA teams that both won the Global Venture Labs business plan competition - also known as the Super Bowl of business plan competitions! Each team invited her to join them to ring the bell at NASDAQ, with both teams winning over $500,000. Sharon is now the Dean for Bellarmine University’s Rubel School of Business in Louisville, KY. he has been an invited guest speaker on the topic of entrepreneurship in several countries including Russia, Czech Republic and Greece. She has published research in the areas of entrepreneurship, e-learning and financial literacy. Her work has even been referenced by Forbes. Prior to teaching and coaching, she was one of the founders of a technology firm for nearly 20 years that grew to employ over 300 full time staff and had offices in 5 states. Sharon also devotes a lot of her time to service and helping other business owners and entrepreneurs through VetStart, National Association for Women Business Owners and Junior Achievement.Bellarmine University Rubel School of Business: https://www.bellarmine.edu/business/ Sharon’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-sharon-kerrick-0a1b893/ Q&A Article with Sharon: http://www.bellarminemagazine.com/qa-with-dr-sharon-kerrick/ Intro/Outro Music by The Pass: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1YZ8Q9yDeYWrCDPFSz3crB SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/the-pass iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/the-pass/354059612 sonaBLAST!
