Nik Delgado is a very interesting person to research and report on as he embodies so many characteristics of an entrepreneur that we cover in class. Currently the founder of simple format marketing agency. Nik found his passion for entrepreneurship when he spent a few years working on an innovative product for a competition sponsored by Elon Musk. Nik showed an incredible talent for finding solutions to issues and seeing things through a different lens. This is a great quality in successful entrepreneurs along with other things. His idea for a marketing agency stemmed from an internship he had where he learned that he could do something else than just be an employee. He chose to look at things he is passionate about and wanted to help others build their own businesses. I think that Nik is very inspirational in the fact that he competed in competitions relying on innovation and really saw a spark within himself. He then saw this spark disappear when we went away from doing what he liked most. He has pivoted his path in life and is now a successful entrepreneur who wants to use his passions to help others become successful and grow their own businesses and desires. I think that everyone can take notes from Nik and his story. We live in a world where we have the ability to take our passions and turn them into a profitable and impactful business or service. That’s exactly what he did, when he found out he didn’t like the career path he was on. I will make sure to apply my takeaways from Nik and apply them in my life to make sure I can do something I love while helping others.
I love how Niks story really demonstrates a lot of the things we have discussed in class and how impactful the tools we have learned can be if we truly put them to use in our Entreprenurial ventures if we so choose to take them.
