Apprentice’ Trump Calls Randal Pinkett a ‘Star’ Volume 50 – Number 13 Wednesday – December 21, 2005 TechTalk S ERVING T HE M I T C OMMUNITY He’s hired! Alumnus named ‘Apprentice’ Trump calls Randal Pinkett a ‘star’ Amy Marcott MIT Alumni Association It’s official: A star is hired. Randal Pinkett (S.M., M.B.A. ‘98, Ph.D. ‘02) tri- umphed over 17 other competitors on The Apprentice 4 finale Dec. 15 to earn a job with Donald Trump. “Randal’s been a star. He’s got a star education. He’s MIT. He’s a Rhodes Scholar,” Trump said. “Do you know what that means? That’s serious, seri- ous education.” Some 800 students and alumni gathered in Kresge Auditorium to watch the show on live television. Indeed, Pinkett seemed the clear favorite throughout the 13-week job interview, winning all three tasks he project-managed, earning the respect of fellow cast members, and being quickly snatched up by other competitors when opportunities arose to even the teams. The win nets Pinkett a six-figure job with “The Donald” overseeing the renovation and expansion of Trump’s three hotels in Atlantic City, N.J. “I see it really as what it’s intended to be, an PHOTO / ALICIA HANSEN apprenticeship,” Pinkett said in an Randal Pinkett, a Sloan alumnus, led his interview before the last show aired. “I team to three victories during the 13- don’t envision that I will begin a lifelong week ‘Apprentice’ competition. career at the Trump organization, but I certainly will work hard and seek to penultimate episode, in which he and learn, and be a sponge. … I believe I challenger Rebecca, a 23-year-old finan- have a lot to bring to the Trump orga- cial journalist, organized large benefits. nization through my experience as an Pinkett did make some questionable entrepreneur.” See PINKETT Typical of reality TV drama, Pinkett’s fate was left in question during the Page 6 IAP offers something for all tastes Sasha Brown Afternoon of good old- (really old) News Office fashioned ancient and medieval cook- ery.

  • Biz Tips: Good Business Reading Lights up Winter Evenings Sunday, Dec
    BIZTIPS - December 30, 2007 Biz Tips: Good Business Reading Lights up Winter Evenings Sunday, Dec. 30th, 2007 By Art Hill What good are long, dark winter evenings? Well, if you or someone you know are interested in starting or growing that small business you've promised yourself, pick up a copy of "Campus CEO" by Randal Pinkett. It's one of the most concise, up-to-date introductions to business start- up available today. But don't take my word for it. Carl Schramm is President and CEO of the entrepreneurial powerhouse, the Kaufmann Foundation. He writes "Pinkett has authored an invaluable reference for students of all ages who want to start their own business…" Donald Trump wrote "Campus CEO is based on experience, and I would recommend it to anyone in school or out of school." He should know. Pinkett took top prize on Trump's show "The Apprentice, Series 4." What makes this book a great choice? First, it's well researched and written. There are gazillions (OK, maybe just billions) of business "how to" books, but this one is short on opinion and long on evidence. For example, lots of authors point out that "Bootstrapping (using personal money) is the most common way to finance a business." But Pinkett proves it using detailed "Inc." magazine survey statistics. Second, the book is well organized, written and edited. The 16 chapters are presented in 4 groups: Starting, Financing, Balancing, and Growing. This is roughly the same approach taken by the Oregon Small Business Development Center Network website www.bizcenter.org." That doesn't make it perfect, it just makes use of proven steps for entrepreneurs.
