RIO: Take it to the beach

I have lived in SW Florida all my life… Born in Miami… First job was selling suntan lotion in front of the Marriott on Marco Island, … in FL we consider the water side of a building the front, not the street. It is called “Beach Perspective”. I LOVE the beach life. Inspiration is everywhere… Wind, Water, Waves, Sand, Ice, Drinks, Water, Umbrellas, Chairs, Towels, Lotion and so much more. I am excited about this opportunity! Anybody else in this one?

See you at the beach!

Yes still G7, but not counting on it staying that way as when it jumps it’s usually not good after the presentation. :(

So, have those besides the three been given the big X? Andrea, are you still G7? This process keeps you on your toes!

Everyone is always a winner and I believe it’s just a matter of time before you land your big one too…. Just to get to G7 is such an accomplishment and to have so many G7’s in this search says so much of your caliber of talent … you have made us proud.

Congratulations to the 3 remaining I wish you all the very best and you see that gigantic G8 quickly ….

Morning EN community !

We spent last night updating dashboards (and a few this morning).

We have 3 items standing with Rio, and have discussed prototypes as well as some follow-up documents on these with the involved inventors.

Their CEO (family founded business – he is second generation) is a wealth of knowledge in the business, amazing product recall and insight and quick decision maker based upon the years of experience. They had 3 team members their, sales and marketing focused with one being engineering/design influence as well, and really students of their business.

Interesting diversity of the items that are left and wish those 3 the best of luck as we move forward over upcoming weeks. The sponsor is putting together Spring 2013 program so we expect that this will move swiftly in coming weeks per their time line.

sorry Eric :-(
Mine was brought to the top of my list, but still says G7. From past experience, I take that as a bad omen.
At least we have a lot of other searches to think about!

Thanks, Jane. How have you been?

Erin, it seems that there is often (but not always) a first round of cuts that happen realitivly quick, in a few weeks or less. Then it seems to take longer for the remaining ideas to be eliminated, like Jane said, 6 months or more.

Sorry for the Rs. Those are always disappointing.

yey Carrie!!!!! So glad to see that!
Sorry about the R7, Michael. Those are absolutely no fun. Hope it fits in lots of other searches. You know it’s a good one.
Erin… it can take up to 6 months, and on rare occasion, longer. Just keep submitting and let this simmer on the back burner.

Brother Michael, glad to see you going to another presentation. Keep on..Keepin on.
Sherri, glad I don’t have to wear one of those hats, but I’m sure it would be a big seller for people…well, maybe I’m not quite sure lol. Nice video..seems a lifetime ago, and then again might go to the beach tommorrow just to re-live:)))
