Said Abdi, a senior at McKinley-ALC, competed as a finalist in the FastLane94 Trailblazer Challenge, an entrepreneurial competition. He took second place for his business pitch of The 2700 Podcast and will compete for the MN Cup Award. Because of the social aspect of his project, he is automatically a semifinalist for the MN Cup at the Carlson School of Business at the University of Minnesota. He will present, attend a meet and greet with heads of Minnesota businesses, and if he's a finalist, there are awards and money for different divisions and a grand prize of $100,000.
