Our Edwardsville CEO students welcomed one of our newest board members, Loren King, for an engaging conversation about entrepreneurship, career paths, and making better business decisions.

Drawing from his experiences across multiple industries, Loren challenged our students to think about the intersection of their natural abilities, the work they enjoy, and the impact they want to make.

A few powerful reminders:

🎯 Your gifts are transferable. Your career doesn't have to follow a straight line.

🤝 Relationships matter. Build a network by being curious, giving value, and following through.

💡*Great businesses solve REAL problems. Listen to customers, challenge your assumptions, and be willing to adapt.

One of our favorite takeaways: 𝑩𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒅 𝒂 𝒃𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝑬𝑽𝑰𝑫𝑬𝑵𝑪𝑬, 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒉𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒂𝒔𝒎!

Thank you, Loren, for investing in our students and challenging them to think critically about their futures and the businesses they're building!
