0 1 2015 Emerging Leaders Graduate Tony Kressin, TK's Welding 0 2 Why he did it "I have a bachelor of science in construction management and that degree had some business classes with it but not a lot. I've been out of college 15 years, and a lot of things have changed. It seemed like it was at least worth a shot. And once I got into it, it ended up being probably the best program I've ever seen or heard of." The biggest benefit "Probably the single most useful part of the program was just the interaction among the group. We would sit around, and it was basically just a roundtable. It's very reassuring to know that other people are going through the same stuff that you are." Who should do it "The program is structured for people who have cleared startup hurdles. So I'd recommend it to the people who are there but just not quite there. Where they know they're about to bust loose but they just don't know how to get there."
