Apprentice Favorite Episode

My favorite episode was season two episode eight and the contestants had to make a recruitment video for the NYPD to get people to join.  Mosaic's leader was Andy and the leader of Apex was Elizabeth.  The winners saw their promotion played on the big screen in Time Square.  Nobody was taken to the boardroom because Elizabeth was fired on the spot.  She was a inefficient and weak leader that is why she was fired.  The business lesson is you have to be driven and love what you do.

Current Event

The current event I chose was the self tying shoes.  Nike has recently came up with a new shoe called the Nike Hyperadapt 1.0 and they are shoes that tie themselves.  This shoe is very expensive but it has a good purpose.  It sells for $720 but it has new technology to tie the shoe by itself. This shoe can help disabled people with everyday activities like tying shoes.  Also this shoe is opens up a whole new market because its only a matter of time before other shoe companies make their own self tying shoes and that is how it connects to marketing.  This will also create competition within the market.
