Course Statistics

The initial podcast episode was created in January 2007. Since then, the episodes have been downloaded/listened to over 40,000 times, and average about 1,500 downloaded episodes per week. I'm proud to say that I have now had many more students take the podcast course than in my total tenure of live teaching at Carnegie Mellon. My goal was always to reach as many people as possible. Isn't podcasting great!

Certificate of Completion

I have been asked if there is a Certificate of Completion for the Entrepreneurship podcast course. I hadn't really thought about it, but it's an interesting idea. As I've said, this is a real course at Carnegie Mellon in a graduate level degree program. Of course, I couldn't provide anything that's official, but I would be willing to create a certificate. Please email me at jules@talkshoe.com and I will send you something.

A few errors on PowerPoint slides

You can access course PowerPoint slides at www.talkshoe.com/professorjuliano. There are 2 errors that I need to correct. Lecture title 4B is actually 4a again. Lecture 16 is correct, however, the title page says lecture 14, but again the other slides are correct. I will fix this issue as soon as I can.

Intro Blog Post

This is the introductory blog post for Mark Juliano's audio course Entrepreneurship and Business Planning taught in conjunction with the live course at Carnegie Mellon University in the Masters in Information Systems Management (MISM) program. It is a business-school type class about the formation of companies. Topics and lectures will include generating the idea, building the team, starting the company, writing a business plan, funding, sales & marketing, legal issues, and giving effective investor presentations, among other things. The audio course is not simply recorded lectures. It is optimized for audio listening online or via iTunes or other audio players. Blog posts will follow lectures as they are created.
