Olivia attended the Rural Colorado Workshops because she heard an unusual buzz about entrepreneurship in Telluride. When living in a ski town, there’s almost always buzz, but not often about entrepreneurship. That’s what the Rural Colorado Workshop brought to Norwood in 2019. Oilivia was excited to see small businesses passionate about scaling their own ventures and being around like-minded entrepreneurs. She was also in the process of cultivating her mobile application, Sustaio.

Advice for current students

Olivia encouraged curiosity and hard work in entrepreneurship,

“Being an entrepreneur is inspiring and energizing. I never get bored because I’m not working on the same things and it keeps me engaged. My advice for students would be to keep turning over those rocks to find what you’re looking for!â€
