Blast from the past at Traverse City, an EET Success Story
Our Michigan works Traverse City tour stop featured a packed house, exciting
speakers and a prediction that came to fruition.
“The jobs of tomorrow are going to come from new and innovative business ventures that don’t exist today,”
That was said Barb Sageman, coordinator of the Business and Entrepreneurship Skills Training program, at our Saginaw Valley State University event in 2007. Imagine our delight, when Lance Hill, a student attendee from that SVSU event (seen above), strolled into the Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City, gainfully employed, as his own boss.
His business, a tee-shirt design business called Hi-Five Threads, gained momentum shortly after attending our SVSU EET. “They (tour speakers) made me believe it was real, to be able to meet local entrepreneurs and other entrepreneurs who flew in from their
busy operations to hang out with us was amazing.” Lance wasted no time make the best of today’s event, networking with tour speakers Duane Spires and Lisa Nicole Bell as well as our esteemed local panelist Jon, the owner of Good Morning America’s top rated ice cream shop, Moomers. Well Played Lance!
It’s worth noting that after the event the crew stopped by for some carrot cake ice cream and a tour of Moomers ice cream parlor before jetting off to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
Nothing yet.
