As longtime CSUF Entrepreneurship Insiders know, we have a very long list of Success Stories about members from our community. The simple reason for this is that our community is made up of people who are creative and are always pushing their boundaries further out; trying new things, meeting new people, launching new businesses.
We are extremely thankful for our community of entrepreneurs and professionals and that is what Director Jackson’s weekly CSUF Entrepreneurship Insider update is all about.
We hope that you have a happy Thanksgiving with your friends and family!

Thanksgiving is this Thursday and that has got me thinking about all of the people that I am thankful for. There is my family, of course, because they give my life purpose and meaning. But I’m also thankful for you and everyone else who is a part of the CSUF Entrepreneurship community. Your creativity and compassion inspire me.
One inspiring member of our community is Chuck Su ’11. He was a student in my classes and I was always certain that he would do great things as an entrepreneur and as a human being. What I didn’t know was that he would combine those things in a business called Family Fun Fitness. We recently published an article about how Chuck’s Family Fun Fitness is Reinventing Family Time with obstacle courses that have families working together to make it to the finish line. Seeing the happy families cross the finish line together is a joy to behold. I’m ecstatic that Chuck has found his passion as an entrepreneur and I hope that Family Fun Fitness continues to bring families together for years to come! I’m eternally grateful to be a part of Chuck’s life and that our growing community has so many supportive and optimistic people in it like Chuck. Happy Thanksgiving! Sincerely,
John Bradley Jackson |
