Strange but true entertainment biz protip: after a performance, run to the nearest restroom, hide in a stall, and listen to the chit chat.

Content seems good for first year students. I'd clean up the format of the presentation a bit. You were inconsistent with spacing between points in some cases. Lots of switching between back ground colors, images, no images, etc. It made it a bit harder to focus. I don't think you should have the period at the end of the titles, seems out of place.<p>Perhaps you handle it when you are speaking, but I'd put a bit more about pivoting. Or talking about MVP and iterating (pivoting) as required. Its really taking most of what you talk about and explain how it is not a linear process.
