Alan Martin

Alan Martin is the CEO of Campus Book Rentals. This is a genius idea. It allows students to save money by renting out textbooks, instead of purchasing them for $200 or more.
- "You can win them over with great prices and unbeatable service--but eventually, they graduate."
-"You need to offer a great product at a price that doesn't cut into the Mountain Dew fund."
-"I've seen business owners try to act cool, and it [costs them] their credibility. It's best to [be yourself] rather than try to send the message, 'Hey, I'm cool, I'm hip.' Because, like it or not, they'll decide what's hip."

College Hunks Hauling Junk/College Foxes Packing Boxes

I believe this is a great idea. It puts a fun spin on moving, which can be a nuissance. I like the humor that they've incorporated into it. I like how it isn't one-sexed. Although the girls aren't wearing inappropriate outfits, they are still being exploited which I do not agree with. Other then that, I believe it's a great company! I would choose this company over a regular moving company anyday.

Who am I?

I'm Katie. My favorite things to do are snowboarding, icehockey, and socializing. I enjoy carpenty and art as well.










My core strength areas are:
Adaptability - the ability to live in the moment
Empathy - the ability to sense the emotions around you
Ideation - one that is fascinated by ideas
Positivity - one that is generous with praise, positive outlook in situations
Relator - one who is thrilled by turning strangers into friends

I am an "Artisan". Artisans want to be where the action is; they seek out adventure and show a constant hunger for pleasure and stimulation. They believe that variety is the spice of life, and that doing things that aren't fun or exciting is a waste of time. Artisans create much of the beauty, grace, fun and excitement the rest of us enjoy in life.
