We had a fantastic time hosting a workshop for high school students at the Arkansas Future Business Leaders of America, Inc. (FBLA) State Conference held at the Convention Center in Little Rock. It was a pleasure to engage with such enthusiastic young minds eager to learn about the opportunities in entrepreneurship. A huge thank you to Marsha Masters from Economics Arkansas allowing us to share the stage with her. Your insights were invaluable, and the collaboration was truly inspiring.
