The brand I chose for my social listening post is Chrome Hearts. Chrome Hearts is a luxury fashion brand that started in Hollywood California.

I was interested in this course because I wanted to see what taking business classes was like and to see if I would want to commit to a business major for my degree. So far this class seems pretty interesting and I am excited just to see what all there is to learn in this class and where I could go after this class if I decide to stay on the business path.

I like watching movies, my favorite place to go to watch movies right now is the Whiteside in downtown Corvallis. I just saw Kill
