During Global Entrepreneurship Month, Junior Achievement of South Florida has invited entrepreneurs into our 20 high school JA Fellows programs throughout Broward and south Palm Beach County to share what inspired them to start their own business and to open students eyes to the opportunity of entrepreneurship.
To celebrate Global Entrepreneurship Month, we are taking time to celebrate local, inspiring entrepreneurs. Our first video comes to us from Steve Nudelberg from On the Ball Marketing. Steve has worked with our high school programs as a Shark at Spark Tank, a presenter at the JA Fellows retreat, and as a speaker at JA Career Bound. Here is a message he recently gave to our JA Fellows students about the importance of innovation in entrepreneurship.
Are you an entrepreneur and would like to share your story to inspire these students?
We're thrilled to have Chef Paula DaSilva, chef de cuisine of Ritz Carlton's Burlock Coast, returning once again at JA World Uncorked. Chef Dasilva started her career working under acclaimed Chef Dean Max at 3030 Ocean and was a Hell's Kitchen finalist in 2009.
