Who I am: I’m a full-time PhD student in plant evolutionary biology. My husband and I also invest in real estate, which is our slow-lane foray. Mother to one daughter (so far), resident of Georgia, USA. Married to MRSupply. In retrospect, I should have differentiated my alias more. One extra “S!”
Why I'm on MFF: 1) My husband is an aspiring fastlaner and I want to understand that mentality since it obviously impacts our relationship and household financial decisions and (2) I find that a lot of entrepreneurial concepts translate to my work.
Where I hope to be someday: I graduate in a year and a half, and my first choices are a teaching, research, or think tank-related job in academia or industry. If plans change, I may want to open my own tutoring business. I would also be happy working for a CENTS business run by MRSupply. No matter what, I definitely want to continue investing in real estate.
Ways I could offer value to MFF: I probably don’t have much to offer the forum unless you want to test out a large-scale business idea - I could definitely create a solid experimental design and help with analysis. I may have a few real estate thoughts to share, but MRSupply is the best one for those questions as he does all the analyses for finding properties.
Ways MFF has helped me already: (1 )I started tutoring on the side. While this is still 100% sidewalk (trading time for money), it gives me teaching experience and lets me peek inside the tutoring industry. (2) I read the excellent thread on finding a mentor by first adding value: https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/co...r-how-should-i-go-about-hitting-him-up.71658/. So I put together some thoughts on directions a professor could take her research and dropped them off. Maybe she’ll hire me as a post-doc. Or maybe not. Either way, I’ve demonstrated my value.
Currently reading: “Sprint,” by the Google Ventures team. It details a strategy to harness both independent thinking and group decision-making, with the goal of identifying a problem, prototyping a solution, and testing the prototype on your target audience in 5 days. I’m trying to figure out how to modify it for lab meetings, but it’s definitely designed for entrepreneurs and may be beneficial to some members of this forum.
