Lessons from Eastern Light
What does it really take to turn a business idea into something real in Eastern Kentucky?
Students will join SOAR Innovation and our partners at Paintsville Independent High School on Wednesday, October 14th, for a candid conversation about people, partnerships, and persistence.
SOAR Innovation’s Kevin Davis will speak with Paintsville High School students about his entrepreneurial journey, lessons from 30+ years in business, and how entrepreneurship can be a career path after graduation.
