I kicked off 2024 at Kyungnam University.
I gave a guest lecture on “cross-border peddler trade” to undergraduates about to start an exciting hands-on exercise: at the end of January they buy and sell goods between Korea and Vietnam, and the top three are decided by gross profit margin.
I once traded goods myself between Japan, China, Nepal, and India as a college student, so the lecture focused on pitfalls to watch for and lessons from my own failures.
