Last week, I shared BizCrush with a few friends—Azriel, Hojoon, and Rahul—and we tracked how it worked for us across campus. We tried it in lectures, office hours, and even at the career fair.

Everyone used it a little differently, but the habit stayed the same: capture the last minute, tag what matters, and move on with clarity. Here’s how it played out—and how it might help you feel less scattered and more on top of things.

In Class — Hojoon’s Take

The problem: Hojoon, who’s majoring in aerospace engineering, said the best parts of a lecture would vanish by dinner. He’d tell himself he’d rewatch the recording. He never did.

What he did: As the professor wrapped up, he hit record and spoke out the key idea and slide number. On the way out, he skimmed the summary and tagged the concept he wanted to review.

What changed: No more scrolling through random slide pics. He knew exactly what to revisit—and what to ask next time.

The result: One clear reminder tied to the right idea. Not a pile of half-baked notes.

Office Hours — Azriel’s Experience

The problem: Azriel, a Graduate Assistant pursuing a master’s in public administration, often left office hours with a plan—“send the draft by Friday”—but forgot the actual edits her professor suggested.

What she did: Right before leaving, she recorded the last minute of the chat. The summary pulled out the feedback in clean bullet points. She tagged the course and added a note to send the updated file.

What changed: On the walk back, she sent a one-liner to confirm the plan. No long email. No delay.

The result: She knew the next step and followed up the same day. Momentum stayed alive.

Career Fair — Rahul’s Strategy

The problem: Rahul, an economics major, said that after each booths, everything blurred—names, roles, conversations.

What he did: After each chat, he stepped aside, tapped record, and gave a quick recap. He starred the most promising leads and tagged the company and focus area.

What changed: That night, he had short, specific notes to personalize his thank-you messages. No guesswork.

The result: He remembered who was who—and sent real follow-ups, not just “great to meet you” emails.

Patterns We Noticed

Across the week, the contexts varied — lectures, office hours, career fair — but the loop stayed steady. It wasn’t about fancy features. It was about leaving each moment with one small, useful action.

Try It Yourself

BizCrush helps students turn everyday conversations into clear next steps. Because let’s be honest—the moment things happen in person, but they’re also easy to forget.

Next time you’re in office hours or a study group, record the last two minutes. Later, check the summary and send yourself one sentence about what to do next. That’s it.

Keep the loop small. Keep it consistent. Let it follow you from classroom to hallway to booth.
