Entrepreneurship to the Extreme
Owning a small business is the dream of many of our students at MCC, and this week, some of them took things to the extreme. On Tuesday, the Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour brought together three of America's top young entrepreneurs to spread the entrepreneurial mindset. The keynote speakers, Sheena Lindahl, Michael Simmons and Josh Kowitt, are young entrepreneurs who've made, earned, and sold their companies and made a huge impact before the age of 25. They encouraged students to begin to leverage the entrepreneurial mindset in this increasingly global and automated world.
In addition to students in the MCC Business Administration program, several local high schools attended the event. Students from Bedford High School, Greater Lowell Technical High School, Lowell High School and Minuteman Regional High School participated in an action workshop, speed networking and listened to a panel of experienced entrepreneurs. The panel included Sheena Lindahl, Josh Kowitt, owner of Bedford Farms Ice Cream Joe Venuti and sales consultant and MCC instructor Jim Grenier. The event was funded in great part by an earmark for entrepreneurship development provided by Lowell Senator Steven Panagiotakos.
