While the class is quite long, it is very informative. This is great for anyone who wants to expand their business knowledge and get the tmp certificate later. The prof gives out a lot of internship opportunities, but you have to be the one to put in the work to actually get them. Quizzes are kind of hard if you don't read, so def read!

I took this class as a last minute elective and I am so glad I did. Greathouse is an amazing professor and his lectures display his passion and love for his students and material. Course content was 9 weekly quizzes based off readings/lecture and then a few other easy writing assignments. He also offers a ton of extra credit.

If you're looking at all these reviews wondering if a professor could possibly be this great, I'm happy to announce it's true! Professor Greathouse will seriously change your life, offering you incredible opportunities and internship experience. This class was probably the best preparation for the real world and I recommend it to anyone interested!

John Greathouse is a gem of a professor. He treats teaching like a passion project - he invests a lot of time into recruiting amazing speakers and putting together presentations that truly captivate and educate his students. I wish I had known about him earlier in my college career because attending his class is not a chore.

Take this class if you want to learn about a different path. I took both the sales course and the Entreprenuership courses. John is inspirational and thanks to him Im on the path to earning seven figure income in the world of enterprise SaaS sales. Thank you professor Greathouse!!!!

ignited my entrepreneurial fire! Great inspiration and provided incredible resources in the startup community.

Greathouse was the reason why I turned to the tech industry. His classes were the only classes I never missed in college, and this was because I always left learning something interesting and applicable. I still use his teachings today and his courses made college feel worth it. Highly recommend if you're interested in people, business, or tech.

As a renowned professional in the tech industry, John teaches valuable lectures that draw from his real-world experiences. Aside from teaching some of the most engaging courses I have ever taken, John also was happy to connect me with his contacts on numerous occasions. I appreciate and admire his generosity and willingness to help his students.

Professor Greathouse is very generous with his time and connections. He genuinely wants his students to succeed and will help them outside of the classroom to achieve their career goals. I would highly recommend taking his classes and connecting with him outside of the classroom.

Professor Greathouse has so much passion for helping students thrive. You can tell through his lectures and also in office hours. He also has so much real-world experience that rounds out his teaching and provides an education that you don't want to miss out.

Great lecturer and one of the best ppl I've come across. Insights from decades of entrepreneurial experience. John really inspired my business thinking. GO to office hours. You can ask about ANYTHING or just sit and listen, he always has an open ear, gives thoughtful advice, cares about his students, helps wherever he can! 11/10 recommend!

If you like business- you have to take any of the courses John offers. He is extremely wise and accomplished, but takes the time to really help his students out in office hours and beyond. Even after leaving UCSB, John was able to help me learn, network, and get publications to write on the startup I'm working at. Easily my favorite teacher at UCSB

Professor Greathouse is someone who CARES. Not only does he put his all into making lectures engaging and relatable, he also truly invests his time towards helping students both in and outside the classroom. He once gave me valuable feedback which inspired me to start a project, and was even kind enough to feature my work to other classmates. 10/10

Really great class for those interested in persuasion and sales, start-ups, or business in general. Professor Greathouse is always accessible outside the class. Lectures and office hours are fantastic and you should definitely apply what you learn in real life. An eye-opening experience for me.

JG is a local legend, you will likely be reminded of him as you progress through your career. Remember to reach out and thank him!

John Greathouse was an incredible professor. He made his lectures interesting with real world examples from his career in business. His class was one of my favorites and I would recommend this one to anybody regardless of career interests. Greathouse's lessons are helpful for success in any domain. He tells you what he expects to get a good grade.

John was one of those professors where you always looked forward to his lectures. Not only was he a fun and engaging lecturer, but his material was excellent and genuine, often pulling from his own experiences. Definitely one of my favorite classes ever taken at UCSB. Highly recommended for anyone interested in business and/or entrepreneurship.

John was by far one of the best professors I had while at UCSB. His teaching style is grounded in real-world experience and his office hours are invaluable. I would highly encourage any student to take at least one of his classes.

John was a great professor who obviously cares deeply about his students. His class is interesting his guest lectures are lauded and engaging, but John himself is really willing to go the extra mile for his students. After I graduated he assisted me in getting a great job and also was willing to offer a family member some great advice.

John is an inspiring lecture and always makes his lectures applicable and interesting. Outside his class he gives great professional and personal feedback and truly cares about the success of his students. Overall John goes above and beyond to what it means to be a professor. Easily one of the most inspiring Professors I had while at UCSB.

I took Professor Greathouse's lecture series class and it truly impacted my life. I did not heed the call of entrepreneurship at the time, but, after law school, I have now committed completely and I would not have had the inspiration to do so without taking this class. Getting to learn from so many successful people was incredible experience!

The #1 piece of advice I give freshman at UCSB is to take a class with John. He is an amazing professor and a wonderful person who truly cares about the students. Take the time to go to his office hours and you won't be disappointed as the lessons you learn from him will help you for the rest of your life

Every quarter different executives at top companies are interviewed by John and you have a front-row seat. Their stories are incredible and the lessons they provide are invaluable. This class will change how you view the world so come with an open mind and take notes!

The lectures are extremely valuable and interesting. This is NOT a class about theory. John has been in the real world and perfected the material he is teaching. Using real examples he says "here is what I did"... "here is how I could have done it better"... "Here is how you should do it"... "Now go do it!" You will not find another class like this
