Day three was a very busy day going to a total of four
places. We started out our day at Stanford University. It is a gorgeous campus
with over 8000 acres of land. All the buildings are designed Spanish like with
the red rooftops and the gold stone. The university has 16 thousand students,
only 7 thousand are undergraduate. At one point Stanford was a tuition free
school for 30 years! Not too long ago they hosted President Obama for a speech.
Their success rate is a 97% for master degree in which they offer a 5 year
program. Then we stopped at the Computer Museum for a quick visit and saw the self-driving
Google car. Next we had stopped for a quick bite to eat at In and Out burger
which was my first experience there (make sure to get your burger “animal style”).
Finally we went to a very small but interesting start-up company Contastic, a
data driven sales automation company where we me a very devoted man named Si. Si
puts in 14 plus hour days for least 6 days a week and takes a pay cut to grow
his company and employees. He said his favorite part of the job is to watch
people grow and pick and choose the people he works with. After 3 busy days
there is still a lot to see and a lot we have already seen. This week is going
by too fast.
