Spending my day preparing for a talk on Friday: "Entrepreneurship in a Niche Industry: The Business of Bigfoot."

Yes, that Bigfoot.
Poster describing an upcoming talk. Title reads 'Entrepreneurship in a Niche Industry: The Business of Bigfoot.' The abstract for the talk says: Bigfoot is one of North America's most enduring legends, recognized widely in Indigenous and popular cultures. This talk explores how entrepreneurs have turned this mysterious creature into a thriving niche industry, driven by media, merchandise, and tourism. We'll examine Bigfoot's journey from folklore to a commercial icon highlights the unique challenges and opportunities of entrepreneurship in a niche market. By sharing insights from individuals who have built businesses around this legend, this exploration offers a glimpse into how purpose, community, and creativity can transform unconventional passions into viable economic ventures.

"To work, one must have a purpose; to do creative work, one must move freely and erratically so as to discover and understand what is the purpose. From this point of view, the very purpose of work is often invented in play." (Mainemelis & Ronson, 2006, p 115)
