Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour

Lansing Michigan is awesome! Over 500 greater Lansing area high school and college students attended this weeks festivities and enjoyed a full day of idea creation, moving keynote speeches and an amazing panel discussion from local business owners. M-S-U!, M-S-U!, M-S-U!!!

Wednesday Morning… Arel Moodie presented his epic story to hundreds of eager, hand selected high school students. Eyes were opened to the idea of being your own boss and acting on your dreams. “The only thing in the way of fulfilling your dreams is your fear,” one student noted. Students and teachers alike were super excited to gather and experience Arel’s Dream Action workshop and takeaway the four keys to success. (Arel could have crowd-surfed with how many students approached him after the session to give him a high five!)Lansing’s beautiful Eagle Eye club was transformed into an entrepreneurial hot spot for aspiring high school students. This was just the beginning.

Wednesday afternoon…The East Lansing Hannah Community Center was filled with visions of success and success stories alike! Duane Spires, owner of Extreme Youth Sports, delivered a message of finding what drives you and overcoming obstacles on the path to success. His high energy was contagious as he engaged the crowd with his great story. Ryan Everson, owner of Computer Doctors and REV Business solutions, spoke to his experiences from owning and growing his business while he was a teenager.

LEAP, the Lansing Economic Area Partnership, blew our socks off with their level of community involvement and passion for developing and fostering local entrepreneurship. Denise, Pam and Sara, you rock for hosting such an awesome event! The phenomenal turnout of eager students and community members was well deserved.
