>> LEWIS: The one thing that I think are stopping young entrepreneurs from becoming successful
is vision. We need successful entrepreneurs to come and show us that it is possible so
that, so we can have a vision, so we can have something to look up to and look forward to
in the future, and that’s what really helped me.
During the Future Founders Academy we met a lot of entrepreneurs from total different
walks of life. And it sparked something in me that a lot of these young entrepreneurs
are being successful in Chicago and that’s what I want to do.
One of the biggest surprises of the camp is that it, it wasn’t like school. And when
I got here it was a whole new experience, you should apply because it will make your
summer. This is a program that lasts way longer than
the week that it actually lasts. I mean the connections that you make here, the people
that you meet, the things that you do will stick with you for years to come. All I can
say is get involved with the Future Founders Academy.
Thank you to all the companies that have help me and my fellow alumni to get a chance to
go to these places and do these things and just get this opportunity to do things that
I never would have done without your help, thanks.
