It’s always a privilege to work with students who are already thinking deeply about how to turn ideas into real products. At Gonzaga’s Hogan Entrepreneurial Leadership Program, I shared lessons on customer validation—from finding early fit using Steve Blank’s Earlyvangelist model to scaling through rapid iteration and targeted sub-markets. The conversation really came alive when we got into stories from my time at Roblox, and it was inspiring to see students already mapping these concepts to ventures they’re imagining.
