This is one of my favorite episode to date… I interviewed 3 high schoolers (Siobhan, Josh and Maria) from Young Entrepreneur Business Week - a camp that is put on each summer to help young adults learn the language of business, how to start their own company, and bond with fellow students and mentors. Being a company advisor to a group of 8 reminded me of what it was like to have so much uncertainty about careers, college and finding purpose - which is why I wanted to ask a few of my group members some questions so we can all step back into the shoes of a high school student (the good and the bad). Overall, the experience at YEBW was incredibly rewarding, motivating and inspiring to see so many other creative minds in one place - hopefully this interview gives you a small taste. Enjoy!
