“Entrepreneurship is a way of thinking and acting,” said Terrell, a supplemental faculty member in the Department of Business Administration in the University of Delaware's Alfred Lerner College of Business and Economics. “This course encourages students to reevaluate their own views of entrepreneurship and the ways they are thinking and acting by bringing in entrepreneurs who share their own stories.”
Cabot, co-founder of Dankso, was one of the final entrepreneurs to share her story with the class.
She explained how a horse-buying trip to Denmark -- the home country of her husband and co-founder Peter Kjellerup -- over two decades ago turned into a clog-discovery trip, ultimately leading them to sign an exclusive agreement to distribute the shoes in America.
According to Cabot, the couple used $7,500 from the sale of a horse and invested it into the first shipment of clogs, which they then began selling at their farm and from the trunks of cars at horse shows.
