Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour

Merced College and the California Center for International Trade Development welcomed back the Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour with speakers Bert Gervais, Adam Lieb, Devin Lars, EJ Carrion, and Mike Pronovost. If you have ever seen any of these awesome entrepreneurs in action you already know that Merced College rocked the house! Bert Gervais moderated an event that really connected with attendees. He led a very impressive group through an Idea Creation Workshop and helped several students really define the essence of their own entrepreneurial ideas and gave them the means to take their first steps to success.

Adam Lieb, the founder and CEO of Duxter Inc, gave a great talk over the various gaming companies he first started forming at age 11! Adam really brought to life the value creation process and converting your passion into a successful business. Many college students dream of making a living through Xbox and Playstation games. Merced College and Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour speaker Adam Lieb proved that it was possible if you think like an entrepreneur!

The founder of Doing Everything Different “DED” clothing line, Devin Lars, knows what it takes to be a success. His story of hard work and overcoming adversity really connected with people at the event. Through his personal road to success Devin helped everyone understand that, while there may be obstacles in your way, hard work and a belief in your dream will bring you through them.

At the end of the day the panel of young entrepreneurs brought the house down! Through excellent audience questions they were able to pass on all kinds of advice and ideas on the business creation process. By the time the last question was answered it was obvious that many potential entrepreneurs could clearly see the direction they wanted to take and firmly believed that they can achieve everything they want to!
