Empowering the Next Generation of Entrepreneurs

The Entrepreneur’s Edge is a free, high-impact workshop designed for secondary school and college students who are curious about entrepreneurship but don’t want the same recycled advice.

In this session, I dive into the three core soft skills that make or break young entrepreneurs—not pitch decks, not fundraising, but mindset, emotional intelligence, and decision-making under pressure. The stuff no one talks about.

Who it's for

Secondary school and college students

Young people exploring entrepreneurship

Educators looking to expose students to real-world skills

What to expect

A 60 to 90-minute interactive session

Real stories from 8+ years of building companies (and failing forward)

Tools and frameworks they can actually use

Why it's free

Because someone once gave me a chance—and this is how I pay it forward. That said, I only run 12–14 workshops a year, so I’m intentional about where I show up.
