Last week I met with Ann marie Houghtailing. Her company is hosting a conference “Blaze Your Own Trail” at the University of San Diego, California for middle school and high school students this summer. I have been invited to be a guest speaker at both grade level sessions.

It is an amazing opportunity for me because I always like to share my business story with other people but it’s also great for anyone who is able to attend. Life isn’t all about academics, textbooks, and the degree. Blazing your own trail can be just about anything these days and my generation needs to definitely think outside the box in order to be successful.

Middle school conference dates: July 26-29

High school conference dates: August 2-5

Hope to see you there. For more information or to register, please visit Blazing My Trail. If you want to follow Ann marie on Twitter, her username is @trailsnotpaths or check out her website The Houghtailing Group for other services and events.
