Entrepreneur Society is back in business

"We'll come and say 'OK, what do you want to talk about today?' 'Does someone have an idea they're working on?' People will be able to use the club as a resource. This is not for me. This is for everybody else," he said.

Bradley and his colleagues will also be handing out articles of interest and recommending books at the meetings.

In addition, throughout the year, Bradley plans to host several speakers.

"We already have about eight speakers in the pipeline," he said. "It's just a matter of whether they're coming first semester or second semester. We're working on the dates right now."

A Facebook devotee, Bradley has already been in contact with potential candidates via the social networking mechanisms of the Web site. One of them has a lobster shipping business in Maine; another runs a digital media company.

Bradley is also looking to bring the founders of Ben and Jerry's, the popular ice cream chain, and Robert Kiyosaki, the author of the bestseller Rich Dad, Poor Dad.

Other than these individual events, the Entrepreneur Society is planning to host a larger event sometime later in the year, around March or April. As of now, Bradley plans to host a panel of young, college-age entrepreneurs, for instance, Ben Casnocha, author of My Start-Up Life: What a (Very) Young CEO Learned on His Journey Through Silicon Valley, who spoke last spring, will probably speak.

Each panelist will have about 20 minutes to speak, after which the audience will be able to ask questions. This will likely be followed by a chance for individuals to talk among themselves and to network. Bradley's overall demographic for the event is not limited to the Entrepreneur Society or to the BC campus. He intends to get the Boston public interested too.

Finally, Bradley also plans to work with BC's other clubs. The Entrepreneur Society is one of out of many business-oriented clubs on campus such as Students In Free Enterprise, the Finance Academy, and the Marketing Academy.
