Today the students visited A Rustic Garden. Owner Susan Ingram shared her journey from refinishing furniture to owning a successful business!

She gave them a tour of the shop and explained their unique business model. She also shared many tips and wisdom nuggets she has garnered along the way. It’s easy to see that Susan loves her work and her enthusiasm is infectious

She gave the stuents a garden/plant hook to remember that they will need to find an impactful hook to sell and promote their own business!

Thank you Susan for all you do for CEO and the students!
