Of mice and maladies
I’m currently engaged in a rivalry with a mouse–a number of them actually. I’ve actually only seen one, but Jake says there’s three. He always sees them, but they never show themselves when I’m around. They know he doesn’t have what it takes to do anything about it. I, on the other hand, am looking […]

Hola chicos! I hope everyone’s October is going well, personally this is one of my favorite months of the year so I love it. The changing leaves, a warm blanket, some hot cider; this is why I love living where I do and I’m so thankful being able to experience this type of weather every […]

A big trend in business today is the emergence of social entrepreneurship. This stellar idea of creating business to help solve societal or community problems has been popping up nationally, even here in the Stevens Point community. I’m studying it in my Business 390 course and it has been fascinating to learn about different […]

More...ISH – It’s better than it sounds

It’s interesting, this is an area of wealth like few of us have ever experienced. I walk outside and there […]

My name is Lee Bartnik and I am a super senior studying dietetics at UW-Stevens Point and I’m currently enrolled in the London internship semester program. This is my blog, written to my fellow students to entertain and possibly inform. Well, it is Sunday evening, which usually means struggling to find a live stream of […]
More...Back in school mode
Hola chicos! Happy autumn everyone! I know I can’t be the only one would loved the cooler stretch of weather that we had here in Stevens Point. Fall is my favorite season and I’m so happy to get back in the full swing of things. As the second week of classes come to an end […]
More...Turning Passions into Business: Part Two
The past two years I had the opportunity to work at First Source Worldwide, LLC, a chemical manufacturer and distributor based out of Wisconsin. The company started 12 years ago out of CEO Dale Clark’s at-home office. As the business grew and opportunities presented themselves, First Source Worldwide quickly grew to a company with facilities […]
