The first day of CEO is officially in the books! 🎉

Our students were thrown right into the deep end on Day 1 as we welcomed our first guest speaker—with no preparation and no idea what to expect! And that’s exactly what CEO is all about: learning to be comfortable with the uncomfortable, listening, asking questions, and making the most of every opportunity.

We were fortunate to have Greg Meyer, retired doctor and current astrophotographer, share stories and lessons from his life and career. Greg encouraged students to:

⭐ Find something you enjoy outside of your work.
⭐ Embrace opportunities as they arise—you never know where they may lead.
⭐ Always do the best you can with what you’ve got!
⭐ Find the good in everyone.
⭐ Focus on the moment.
⭐ Acknowledge others and treat them with kindness. You never know when you might need their help.
⭐Associate with people better than you!

What a great way to kick off the year and give our students their first taste of what CEO has in store. Thank you, Greg, for sharing your time, experiences, and wisdom with our class!

Day 1 down… and we’re just getting started! 💼🚀
