Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour

Back by popular demand, the Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour has come once again to Redding, CA to inspire students with Shasta College!

Nearly 300 high school students were encouraged by our veteran speakers, Ryan Everson and Chris Koerner, and crowd pleasing moderator EJ Carrion. Not only did EJ’s stories delight, but the t-shirts, Dutch Brothers Coffee gift cards and other prizes were also got the crowd going.

Ryan (dubbed “chick magnet” by an attendee) came out west from Michigan, even missing two of his classes, to meet up with the tour once again. Ryan energized the crowd with his non-traditional journey, by starting his first business from the proceeds of the sale of his car and later going back to school after his business success to make his mom happy.

Chris (“baby maker” according to the same attendee) came up from Alabama to share his inspiring story of being a young parent and juggle all the responsibilities that come from having a growing family. While Chris at times had to do jobs that he might not have wanted to do, he has been able to become the successful entrepreneur he has wanted to be.

Students got all mixed up networking when EJ had them find other students who wore the same color shirts or had the same birthday month with the beat thumping and the lights flashing. At panel, the students were able to get great advice from our speakers and see what ideas their fellow students were cooking up themselves.

While this great event came to an end the EET team is going on wards and upwards (or er south) to Chico, CA to spread the word of entrepreneurship!
