Last week, Liberty Launch Academy hosted an unforgettable seminar featuring industry trailblazers who shared their journeys and expertise with our young entrepreneurs. Culinary experts Chad White and Adam Hegsted captivated the audience with their engaging session on the fundamentals of business ownership—with Adam, the proud owner of Eat Good Group Restaurants, offering unique insights from his entrepreneurial journey. Joining them was Andrea Samson, the visionary behind Sharable Sweets. Now part of the Mode Family and set to run her business from the Mode facility, Andrea added her own flavor to the day by demonstrating creative baking techniques and sharing her path to success.

Mixing Passion with Purpose

Chad and Adam captivated the audience by delving into their personal stories of culinary innovation and the challenges they faced on the road to building successful ventures. Their narratives went beyond recipes, highlighting how vision, persistence, and collaboration pave the way for success in both the culinary and business worlds.

A Sweet Addition to the Seminar

Andrea Samson brought her own unique touch to the event. As the owner of Sharable Sweets, she not only shared her entrepreneurial journey but also showcased hands-on baking techniques that resonated with the students. Her practical demonstrations illustrated how creativity in the kitchen can translate into a thriving business venture. Now integrated into the Mode Family, Andrea's collaboration with Liberty Launch Academy promises more opportunities for innovative learning and growth.

The Recipe for Business Ownership

The seminar was built around practical lessons that the students could immediately apply to their own ambitions. Key takeaways included:

• Start with a Vision: Whether it’s creating a new dish or launching a business, having a clear goal sets the stage for success.

• Embrace Challenges: Setbacks in both the kitchen and in business are opportunities to learn, adapt, and innovate.

• Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: Success is a team effort, much like a well-coordinated kitchen, where collaboration and mutual support are essential.

• Innovation is Key: Continuously exploring new ideas—whether in culinary arts or business strategy—keeps you ahead of the curve.

A Hands-On Learning Experience

The interactive nature of the seminar allowed students to engage directly with the experts. Through group discussions, Q&A sessions, and live demonstrations ranging from innovative cooking methods to creative baking techniques, the young attendees gained invaluable insights into turning passion into a profitable venture.

Inspiring the Next Generation

By the end of the day, the combined wisdom of Chad, Adam, and Andrea had sparked an entrepreneurial spirit among the students of Liberty Launch Academy. Their diverse experiences demonstrated that the ingredients for success aren’t confined to the kitchen—they apply to every field and passion. The seminar was a powerful reminder that with vision, resilience, and teamwork, every young mind has the potential to craft their own success story.
