Practice Presentation and a Day out of the Office


Date: May 13th

Today was the longest work day Henry and I have had so far and it was also the most interesting as well. It started as a normal day at the house doing some refining on a draft of our express fest presentation, that we knew we were going to use later in the day. We were set to have Laura look over the presentation before we left the house for our first stop, but her 30 minute conference call ended up lasting an hour and 45 minutes so we were rushing out the door when she finished. We got to Bob’s office at the MLS Players Association (only to use their conference room) and waited for Laura’s friend’s highschool intern who we were going to share experiences with. We connected our presentation to the big screen in the conference room and went through our journey so far with Laura, Bobby, and Elise the intern. Laura and Elise were very helpful to us as they both asked questions and made key suggestions for us to improve our eventual final product. Our next stop after the meeting was to Bipartisan Policy Center to here a book reading from Karen Mills about her new book “Fintech, Small Business & The American Dream”. After staying and listening to Karen speak, we rushed out the door to catch our last event of the night which was a panel in D.C. from fellows at the Ashoka organization. Ashoka is all about finding social entrepreneurs who can be studied and used to breed “Changemakers” out of citizens all around the world.

Teaching on the Go and Grey Bechok Sighting

Date: May 2nd When we woke up today, Laura was on a big conference call until late morning so she sent us some presentations to review about our next topic of discussion. Henry and I reviewed a little bit downstairs before Laura was off the call and ready to talk with us. She asked if we were ok with doing the majority of our conversion outside on a walk because her dog Lulu needed to get out for a while. She first asked us to come up with our own definition of microfinance, which is she expects us to be asked a lot when we get back to Proctor for our Senior Project presentation. We had a very good conversation about the future of finance with a new digital era and fintechs (financial technology). There has been a lot of information covered in the first couple of days and I believe we have done a good job retaining the information in discussions with Laura. To end off a fairly easy-going day, Henry and I added a public transportation badge to our hypothetical boy scout sashes, as we p

Culminating Discussions and Thank You Notes

Date: May 15th The last week in Bethesda is going by really quickly and the days have been focused on tightening loose ends from our research with Laura. We began the morning by reading through three different booklets all in an effort to give us a better understanding for a slide about universal standards of banking. The universal standards were created by Laura’s Social Performance Task Force and the readings gave us in depth analysis and reasoning behind each criteria. After we were done with that we had a long conversation with Laura about the responsibility of banks and microfinance organizations, particularly new client protection standards set after the housing crisis in the United States. Later on Henry and I drafted thank you emails for Kirsten Quigley and Molly Hamilton, who generously brought us in for conversations on entrepreneurship and their startups. To end the day we drove to the airport in D.C. to pick up Kyra, Laura’s daughter, as she returned from her junior year

Meeting with Molly of Molly's Bakeovers

Date: May 9th Today was our first adventure with entrepreneurism; a large part of our society Laura has been adamant that we experience. We met with a dedicated woman named Molly Hamilton, who constructed her own baking business named Molly’s Bakeovers. The objective of our meeting was to hear the complete story of Molly and the up and down journey of starting a business of your own. As we dove into Molly’s Bakeovers (both the cookies and the company), we learned common phrases and vocab that comes along with business management like a convertible note, a series A investor, and equity. Laura wanted to stress to us that it can be easy to understand the basics of being an entrepreneur once you know the terminology and principles, but what kids who are entrepreneurial majors in college do not understand the amount of “sweat equity” that goes into this type of field. Sweat equity is the hard work and tears that go on behind the scenes of a startup, where the company is on the brink of c
