Happy National Intern Day!
Meet our intern at Legacy Franchise Concepts, Bauer Gucky, he is a rising junior at The University of Georgia - Terry College of Business majoring in Finance. We had Bauer answer some questions about his experience as a Finance Intern:
1. What has been your favorite part of interning at LFC?
My favorite part about interning at LFC is the people. I find myself surrounded by incredibly bright, humorous, and kind-hearted individuals. Their guidance has extended beyond the realms of finance and accounting, imparting invaluable life lessons that I will cherish forever. I am very happy with the relationships I have built.
2. What projects have you gotten to work on during your internship? What skills did you gain from it?
During my time at LFC, I got to work on two projects. The first was a competitor analysis for SweatHouz while the other was an introduction to a field our CEO, Jamie, was thinking of investing in. These projects proved to be invaluable learning experiences for me. Firstly, I gained a comprehensive understanding of the rationale behind companies' pricing decisions and how they position themselves amidst competitors. Secondly, I learned what investors look at when thinking about investing in certain companies, from broad aspects all the way down to the very detailed elements. Lastly, I strengthened my presentation skills. After presenting a few times in front of the office, I got comfortable presenting in front of a large crowd. Overall, I enjoyed doing these projects and I learned a lot of valuable skills.
3. What's a piece of advice you would give to future interns?
Dear future intern, As you embark on your journey, I want to share a valuable lesson I've learned during my time here: respect. Respect others and they will respect you. By treating others with respect, you create a positive environment where respect is reciprocated. Here, everyone values each other's contributions, and there is a culture of active listening and mutual learning, regardless of one's position. Embrace this principle, and you'll undoubtedly thrive in this supportive and collaborative workplace.
We are so thankful for our intern and all that he did this summer. We will miss his crazy basketball takes, his choice in food, and who he thinks is going to win the next national title. He truly was an asset for LFC this summer. Crush it at UGA, Bauer!
