What a way to close out our final business visit of the 2025โ2026 school year!
Today, our CEO students had the opportunity to visit ๐๐๐ซ๐ค ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ก ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ and hear from Bob Timmermann (Managing Partner and Owner) and Brad Fry (Director of Sales, Marketing, Operations)โand it was a conversation that will stick with them far beyond today.
Bob shared his entrepreneurial journey to Park North, which didnโt follow a straight path. Starting in medical sales, he has launched seven businesses, six in healthcare, before stepping into the golf entertainment industry. ๐๐๐จ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ค๐ง๐ฎ ๐ฌ๐๐จ ๐ ๐ฅ๐ค๐ฌ๐๐ง๐๐ช๐ก ๐ง๐๐ข๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ง ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ก๐ก๐จ ๐ค๐ ๐๐ฃ ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ง๐๐ฃ๐๐ช๐ง ๐ฉ๐ง๐๐ฃ๐จ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ฎ ๐ค๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐๐ก๐.
Key takeaways from today:
โณ๏ธ A strong business starts with a plan...but that plan should always be evolving
โณ๏ธ Know your numbers: budget, market, and competition matter
โณ๏ธ Sales is part of every business, no matter your role
โณ๏ธ Opportunities arenโt given...you create them
We are incredibly grateful to Bob and Brad for their time, insight, and hospitality. The donuts and chance to try out the golf bays made the morning extra sweet!
An incredible experience, and the perfect way to wrap up a year of real-world learning in our community.
