LaunchNET News: Quick Vibe Check

We're baaaack. Did you miss us?

The Latest & Greatest from LaunchNET Kent State

What a silly goofy week.

I swear this week has been full of juxtapositions. It's been long but yet so short, hehe haha but also having to wear your serious face 🧐, relaxing but somehow the stress finds its way through.

Here's to a weekend of the former and avoiding the latter.

Highlights of the week include: perfecting your elevator pitch, a new podcast episode, pitching your ideas for $$, hacking and crafting, and guides to designing and branding.
