“We hosted a career day and we had the pleasure of having Mr. Wilson come in and speak to a classroom about entrepreneurship and the pros and cons of being one. It was truly amazing to see how active the students were in learning more. ”
ALEXA YOUNG, CA
“Mr. Wilson's passionate speech about his personal story and the importance of not repeating the same mistakes he made. He stressed the need to make choices that will benefit us in the long run. One particular phrase that resonated with me was "What you do today will matter tomorrow."
