Hosts Aaryn & Gabe sit down with Josh Cooper, Founder & CEO of the ridesharing and micro-mobility advertising company SKOOP, as well as Wesley Ma, Founder of HealthOpX, to discuss what it's like to be a student at Michigan State University while simultaneously creating and running a company.

This week we brought you the second part to the bonus interview with Justin Bugsy Sailor from back in November. He talks about creativity and how he doesn't like the way the world has been used lately, random business ideas that began as April Fools jokes, and much much more.

Justin Bugsy Sailor joined Aaryn Richard in a bonus podcast bit after he came to MSU for Innovate State in November. They talk about Plaidurday, Bugsy's highlights and lowlights to his 50 state road trip, growing up in the UP, and how to survive harsh winters. Sprinkled in between are great lessons like how to build a community, taking things a little at a time, and trying everything twice. Listen in- it's a good bonus episode!

WE caught up with Holly Taipala about Women in Entrepreneurship (WE). Here, Holly tells us about her experience as a budding entrepreneur who balances student life and work life. Her love for coffee, baked goods, and women-led projects, encourages us to keep the discussion going from the recent women in entrepreneurship week (WEW).

We caught up over Halloween with Katie Musial, a long time Eboard member of MSU Women in Entrepreneurship and current Hatch member. We talked all about the lessons she has learned from being involved in MSU entrepreneurship and also about how she has seen the ecosystem upon up to her as a female. There's a lot of laughs and even more wisdom from her.

Aaryn Richard sits down with Justin Bugsy Sailor to discuss all the stuff he has been up to since graduating from MSU. They talk business and adventure. Jump along on the ride!

Alex Rucker brings in all her stories of getting started in business, switching over to UI/UX design, and all the little connections that have happened in between. She is a soon to be graduating student in Experience Architecture and she has something to say always. Her honesty, humor, and humility shine through in this interview. Get real with us.

Malik Jackson, a third year engineering student, has received this year's James Ian Gray Entrepreneurial Scholarship and he just keeps going. He tells us about balancing school, work, consulting, and staying interested in them all. He tells us about challenging yourself and how to avoid burnout. We hope you find Malik's diverse interests and various ventures quite impressive.

Sit down and join us in a conversation with MSU Broad College of Business alumni, Jeff Ellman. His career is driven through putting people first which is how he got started in his two cofounded businesses- Hireology and Urban Bound. He talks about family, the importance of a good team, and the winding path with many highs and lows he has taken.

We meet up with Brianna Makaric this week to talk all about her delicious probiotic snack, BRITE Bites. Coming out of a Startup Weekend in February 2018, she tells us all about how she has gotten to being in stores now and getting messages from her family that they just bought her products at Horrocks! She tells about the hardships of balancing university classes with the excitement of her business catching traction as well as clues us in on how she distresses from that workload.

We could not be more excited for the launch of our second season with the Hatchcast. Now that school has started back up at Michigan State University, we've got some new and exciting podcasts coming your way featuring local entrepreneurs, student hustlers, and visiting alumni talking all about what they are up to in business ventures. Here is a little preview at this season's hosts and the things they are most looking forward to!

We kick off Season 2 with our very first Innovate State Speaker of the 2018-2019 school year, Shaniqua Davis. As Founder and CEO of Noirefy, Shaniqua got her entrepreneurial start very quickly after graduating from MSU's Media and Information degree. She has since taken her personal experiences and those of people in her communities and saw the need for more connection between diverse talent and companies seeking those people. She talks about her daughter, her biggest lessons so far, and the power of perseverance always.

Welcome back to the Hatchcast! Whether it was coverage of the Conquer Accelerator, interviewing entrepreneurs, or simply bantering about, season one has been a thrilling one. But, before we take a small hiatus preceding season two, Aaryn and Kurt talk about the unfolding of the Hatchcast and what to expect in the next season. And of course, they talk about the elephant in the room: yet another intern leaving the Foundation. Kurt delves deep into his time at MSU and offers some advice to his Spartan peers. So sit back, relax, and enjoy our thirteenth installment of the Hatchcast. Also, don't forget to take our Survey: https://surveymonkey.com/r/hatchcastsurvey2018
