Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour

The EET team moved on south after our awesome event in Redding, CA, down to Chico, CA for even more awesomeness. We were lucky to be in another beautiful theater, El Rey, in downtown Chico and be back again with Rick and Shasta College.

Our indefatigable moderator EJ Carrion got the crowd of 150 high school students going with high-five competitions, t-shirt and Dutch Brothers Coffee gift cards giveaways and his thrilling, dynamic stories of skydiving and what motivated him to succeed in life.

Ryan Everson was back again to inspire the crowd with his journey from being an attendee at the Tour to becoming a successful entrepreneur and now being a speaker on Tour. Ryan encouraged the crowd to start small when starting their business and to get help in areas where they may need it, like accounting. Ryan also revealed that his first business plan came from a similar competition to the 7^th annual YEP business competition that Shasta College is kicking off this week.

Chris Koerner also with the Tour for a second day and coached the crowd to look for markets that could become big business. Chris confessed that he even opened a website business to see if there was any demand and had to turn away business when there was too many orders! He also shared about overcoming setbacks that no one could plan for- like tornadoes decimating all of your store fronts- and how his business was able to survive it.

While the EET team is leaving California for now, we’ll be back bringing the inspiration of entrepreneurship to all!
