After a long, particularly stressful day of work, we did what all CEOs do: enjoy a round of golf at a prestigious country club.

Now, by prestigious country club I mean the aerated corn field across the gravel path from the cabin. Oh by the way, we had an extreme thunder storm rampage through Decatur just a few hours prior to our excursion. You can only imagine the mud.

I honestly can’t believe its July already. Just as we wet our feet in the world of cryogenics and small business management, the end is starting to push forward. With so many challenges, meetings, tasks and goals to complete we needed to organize them. In a simple but innovative approach, Charlie suggested we consolidate all of our personal calendars onto one huge calendar. Now populate [...]

When in Rome...

Before coming out to the Cabin and starting CEO Intern, I never really gave much thought to the lifestyle out in the Midwest. Even though Prescott and his parents constantly mentioned that life and the people out here were much simpler than the East coast, the thought process never initiated. Flying into and wandering around in down town Chicago, I couldn’t feel too much of a difference from New York City. We [...]

As always, the morning comes quick, and work always starts quicker. As I look around our marble conference table, rather ou [...]

Fun in the Sun

Hey everyone,

Sorry for the delay in blogging. These last couple days have been fully packed with excitement! So much so, that I even needed Monday to recover. Where to begin…

Let’s start with golf. Last week we found out that the Futures Tour, the prequalifying tour for the LPGA, was in town for a tournament a [...]

A bridge over troubled water...

Wow, what a day! Up until today, I thought we could function without any conflict. But any successful group must face conflict, and well, today was our day. Just as we entered the office and said our greetings, we began our first daily meeting. Within moments, we drafted a quick agenda and began discussing various topics such as our WiFi situation, our Ebay sales challenge, the possibility of hiring a Cryogenic’s specialist and creating a code of conduct for appro [...]
