Tuesday, January 12, 2010 This Week: Jason Ross - Mentors Scott Labs Room 125 - Tuesday, January 12, 2010 Are you interested in learning how an Ohio State Business Builders student built a multi-million dollar online clothing retailer? This Tuesday night at 7:30, Jason Ross will be speaking not only about how he built a multi-million dollar company, but will also be speaking in-depth about mentors. JackThreads is an online shopping community offering you the sickest apparel, sneakers, and accessories from respected brand names in the surf, skate, streetwear, and contemporary fashion set. We offer new gear daily with pricing at least 50% off retail (often times more). In order to keep you looking fresh, we only offer these deals to our members – it's like that tree house Bart Simpson and his boys went to so they could show off their new finds, like adult mags and comic books! Think about it – in a recent study, 60% of 18-35 year old men interviewed said that they believe they will become famous in their lifetimes (author unknown). 4/10 males also believe they will become rich (author also unknown). We support your ambition toward one or both of these goals (or slacking if that's your thing) so we're here to help keep your wallet fat in the process. The reality is that whatever your ambition is you gotta look fly while doing it, so you need some fresh threads. Every day new sales start at 12:00PM EST (noon) and typically run for 72 hours. These sales usually feature either a single brand or a product category (like jacket sales or denim sales). In order to keep that Pine-Sol freshness we'll usually drop more than one sale at a time. That means you can basically stock your wardrobe for the year in just one week of sales as JackThreads! Or, come back over and over again for fresh finds all year long! back to top Next Week: Dr. Mike Triplett Tuesday, January 19, 2010 Dr. Triplett possesses a PHD in chemical engineering from The Ohio State University and has specific expertise in interfacial science, inhalation drug delivery, and particle engineering.
