Interview : Justin Mcewen - Rock Security

Joe emerged his business by perusing his desire to run a business on his own. Together Joe and Larry took the risk and began Bannes-Shaughnessy Inc. in 1972 (Katz, 2011). Despite their prior experience and low amount of capital they began with, within five years they had received their first million dollar contract, proving their existence. From here on out their firm grew, so did their success, and in turn were helping the community. Joe was compassionate and his work and business reflected that. Their families were benefiting from their success as well as their own lives. They were perusing their dreams, and once Joe became the sole owner, he was able to take the business to the next level. It is as if he was beginning the growth stage again within his own company, he could now continue on focusing on the expansion and diversification of his

An Entrepreneur is a person who forms and operates a business. Entrepreneurs form and start companies by themselves, or with partners. Most of the time companies which are started by entrepreneurs are relatively small in size, but some grow into huge corporations, such as Microsoft which is owned by Bill Gates. Entrepreneurs have four different options when starting a business, which include a sole proprietorship, Partnership, limited liability company, and also a corporation. Each form has its advantages and also disadvantages depending on what the type of business is, and also what service it provides.

After my interview with a former security officer at the 9/11 memorial, I learned a whole new perspective of the site. In comparison to what I had observed in my short time there, my informant, Ricky who worked the site for years was able to give me an insight on what I was not able to observe. At first, I was hesitant to bother my friend for an interview since I knew he was busy with his own family or even work. My plan was to interview officers at the memorial while they were on the job during my lunch break. After getting denied by countless officers at the memorial, I gave up and sent Ricky a message on FaceBook, asking if he had time this week for a couple of questions about his time spent working at the memorial. Since I have known him since I was a child along with his brother, without hesitation, he agreed and invited me to watch our favorite show “The Walking Dead” at his house on Sunday. I arrived at his house and I treated his family to dinner as a way of saying thanks for helping me with my assignment. However, during my interview, I didn’t feel like it was much of a formal interview, instead, I felt like it was more of a friend to friend conversation about his past experiences at a job. (I was literally laying down on his couch, petting his cat while interviewing him questions off my laptop).

Mankind has thrived off of the dependability of ideas and the application of them for centuries. Moreover, humans have sustained healthy lives through developments and inventions that have improved the world around them. From the earliest Mesopotamian creation of the wheel to Apple’s recent release of the iPhone 7, groundbreaking revelations have perpetuated and molded human survival in some aspect. Anyone can generate an idea, but rather, it is the ability to transform that idea into a development that is valued by many--which is what makes being an entrepreneur remarkable. Entrepreneurs are some of the keenest, most creative, and passionate people that walk the earth.

As it relates to my chosen entrepreneur, Mark Cuban experiences the rise of new businesses on a regular basis. He is one of the main cast members on the show ‘Shark Tanks’, where a group of successful business leaders listen to new self-starters promote their ideas in hopes of a loan from one of the “sharks”. The show itself has helped inspire many American entrepreneurs to come up with new ideas.

1. What is your story and how did it led you to create your own business?

As with anything, there are negatives from within an organization. Breaching security is a huge negative impact from within social media and a criminal justice organization. Sometimes staff or people from within the community can breach security either with or without the intent to do so. Let’s say a staff member gives details regarding a task on social media that was supposed to be confidential, this will be a negative impact of social media as information got leaked that should have remained from within the organization. When confidential information gets spread throughout a social media page, this will greatly impact your organization and its procedures (Jaitner & Kantola, 2014).

Entrepreneurship is one of the hardest investments to make because it requires more than just money. Consequently, it is also an ownership investment with extremely large potential returns. By creating a product or service and selling it to people who want it, entrepreneurs can make huge personal fortunes. Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft and one of the world's richest men, is a prime example.
