Business Plan Pitch
 
Thanks to Joyce Madigan, Todd Vilardo, Josh Kettleson and Chris Swing who gave feedback on the students' business pitches. Some of the suggestions will really help the students present more professionally at the show. During Colton and Michael's presentation of Right Path Landscaping, Colton was presenting, via Skype, all the way from San Diego, California!
