Bennington College in Vermont invited me to speak to students in its graduating class, advising them about the world of entrepreneurship, what it means to be a business owner, what challenges they can expect to face, and other important questions. It was a joy to return to my alma mater, twenty years after graduation, and help these people who are like “younger versions of myself” by giving them the guidance I wish I could have received. I hope my words were true, and my lessons learned can benefit the lives of others.
