Favorite Apprentice Episode

My favorite episode of apprentice was season 2, Scoops Dream.

Task Description:  Create, develop and market a new flavor of ice cream with the Ciao Bella Gelato Company for the Trump ice cream Parlor.  Then sell it on the streets of New York City.

Leader of Mosaic: Kelly

Leader of Apex: Ivana

Reward for winning: A caviar dinner at the Petrossian

Winning team: Mosaic. Mosaic won because they profited $250 more than Apex. They had a better location and a better ice cream flavor which was doughnut and sold it as a breakfast ice cream. Also they donated a portion of their profits to the leukemia lymphoma society.

Losing team: Apex. Apex lost because they made less total profit than Mosaic. They had two bad locations and lost contact between carts due to a miscommunication. This lost time for Apex which hurt them because they started later then Mosaic. Also their ice cream flavor red velvet was worse.

Who was taken to the board room: Stacie J., Jennifer, Bradford, And Ivana

Who was fired: Bradford was fired because Trump thought it was incredibly stupid for him to waive his exemption due to over confidence.

Why did I like this episode: I liked this episode because it showed how to create and then sell a product with the whole marketing mix. Also it was very dramatic and intriguing. The episode was also based around one of my favorite foods which is ice cream.

Business lesson learned: You have to be on time and have good communication skills to be successful in marketing and business, as both of those led to Apexes loss. Also don't be over confident in yourself like Bradford was because that can lead to bad things.

NFL Expanding Its Market

The NFL has done a lot to try and expand its market, both nationally and internationally. Such as having games on Thursdays and Monday nights. Even more recently, they have started to play games in other countries like London and Mexico. With all these, the likelihood of having a team in another country has increased. London makes a great market for the NFL as it has a population of 8.5 million. the addition of 8.5 million fans would be huge for the league, as recently its viewing totals drop significantly over the course of the 2016 season. The addition of a London based team would also be huge for their local economy, as local sports bars and taverns would get increased sales on game days. Also hotels would see increased sales as fans from America and all over the UK would travel to watch the game in staduim. Overall, a London team would pay huge divedends for the National Football League.

Generation X

Generation X, Which is loosely defined as people born from 1966-1976, is sometimes referred to as the lost generation. This was the first generation of kid who were highly exposed to divorces and spent a lot of their early childhoods in day cares. These kids are also known as the "Latchkey" kids as they spent a lot of time home alone without parents until they returned from work. This generation is know for having one of the lowest voter turnouts, having a "whats in it for me" mentality, and being arguably the best educated generation.

NFL Color Rush Uniforms

The NFL recently unveiled their new color rush uniforms for Thursday Night Football games. These new alternate jerseys are the meant to spice up prime time games a bit and draw in larger crowds. these larger crowds all get more people to see the ads during the chimerical breaks which means more money for the league. Also the new uniforms are available to buy for the low price of $150. yet again the NFL makes bank off my impulse decisions and undying love for football.

Now my top 5 favorite Color Rush jerseys:

5: The New Orleans Saints
4:Arizona Cardinals
3:San Francisco 49ers
2:New England Patriots
1:Baltimore ravens

Heelys

The greatest shoe of all time. Heelys. Nothing could make you cooler then skating around school in your sick new Heelys. These sick shoes appealed to almost everyone because skating was in at the time. Its target market was kids from elementary school to high school, with an emphasis on boys. although later a girl version of the shoe was released. Its reason for its fade was that they got banned in most all schools, and a lot of kids got hurt on them, so parents stopped buying them for their kids and they lost their popularity. They were replaced by other n

ew shoes such as zigtecs.
