4. Courage and Resilience Resilience was extremely important for this class. In order to conduct research, the team had to approach many different musicians and restaurants managers/owners/waiters in order to collect data, many of whom were not willing to set aside time to talk to us. It took us multiple phone calls and even some in person visits in order to get many of these people to take our survey. In the end, it was worth it because they were able to give us important insights that shaped our company. Resilience was extremely important for this class.
