If any post grad felt the downfall of Michigan's economy, it was me. Having graduated two years ago in the Spring of 2008, I had quite a difficult time getting my career going. Fresh out of college, I was ready to show the world what I was made of and to begin my professional career, but the job outlook in Michigan was not looking very bright. My job search focused mainly on available positions in Michigan. I was also seeking out of state, but did not give up on Michigan that easily. After months and months of patience, yet painstakingly searching, I got lucky!

I was hired on as a Marketing Intern with Anchor Bay Entertainment. Anchor Bay Entertainment is one of the leading distributors of independent feature films and home entertainment products, and is the home entertainment division of Starz Media, LLC. While interning, I worked with the Children genre brand manager and director to strategically put together marketing plans, advertising, PR, promotions, artwork, package design, and run sales and POS reports for the Children category of home video product lines. I worked heavily on a brand called Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! Wubbzy, a hit show for children that runs daily on NickJr, among several other brands.

My role at Anchor Bay Entertainment switched gears after my internship. I am currently a Marketing Brand Manager, working on the Fitness genre - a position I truly enjoy! There are many roles within this position, which consist of: assisting in the leadership of development and execution of new DVD releases, helping to manage the product life cycle involved in bringing together new Fitness DVDs from concept to delivery, creating consumer and trade marketing materials, putting together presentation decks, industry/category analysis, developing marketing and sales materials, tracking and routing creative development, running sales forecasts and POS reports, and working with several outside vendors and all internal departments (sales, retail marketing, operations, finance) to achieve the highest success of our brands and ensure timely delivery of materials that make up our products. I collaborate with and support the SVP of Brand Marketing, SVP of Creative & Product Development, and the Fitness Brand Manager. We are a great team and together we strive for the success of our brands!

Staying optimistic and being persistent have always been my two keys to success!

Daniel Poris

As an investment real estate broker, I focus on the acquisition and disposition of commercial investment real estate properties throughout the United States.  I work with investors and developers everywhere in the country helping them buy and sell investment properties like fast food restaurants, auto-parts stores, banks, and shopping centers.  My company is a local branch of a national real estate company with offices in almost every state.  
 
One of the more interesting aspects of my job is speaking with real estate professionals in different markets all over the country and helping them meet their investment goals.  My office does a significant amount of business in Michigan, but we are lucky to be diversified and have worked on projects across more than two dozen states.  
 
I spend the majority of my time on business development and managing our current transactions.  It’s an exciting time to be in the real estate industry, especially being from Michigan and with state of the real estate market.  However, being from the Detroit area helps us understand a difficult market better than many of our colleagues throughout the country.

Nelson Mandela declared, “Education is the most powerful weapon that you can use to change the world.”  Everyday in the classroom, I challenge young people to expand the parameters of their minds, in order to be critical thinkers in a chaotic world.  Our youth need to realize, they are not the NEXT generation but they are the NOW generation.  Now is the time to infuse character, hope, and healing into their lives via the vehicle of education which will transform our world.

As a cancer survivor, I share my inspiring story of overcoming the odds and transforming life’s trials into triumphs.  In spite of cancer I decided that “I CAN” overcome with my determination and the strength of God’s healing power.  I infuse my inspiring story, the power to persevere, and messages of hope into my 3 books, classrooms, churches, conferences, and various arenas, in order to compel and propel individuals to unlock the doors to their potential.
