Fearless Founders
Fearless Founders podcast is an audio adaptation of a live experience hosted for CEO (Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities) Program participants across the nation each year. CEO is an entrepreneurship program provided by the Midland Institute for Entrepreneurship that is transforming young people across the nation into entrepreneurial thinkers. A part of the Midland Institute for Entrepreneurship’s ever-present mission to develop the next generation of thought leaders and innovators, this series was born out of a passion to share valuable life stories with these high school entrepreneurs and invite them to build their network on a national level. In this podcast, you’ll hear a collection of special conversations with highly, successful visionary leaders - from Olympic champions to New York Times bestselling authors - that touch on how they got there, the failures they overcame, and what they learned along the way.

Episode Six - Anne Beiler l Founder, Auntie Anne’s® Pretzels
In this month's Fearless Founders conversation, we sat down with Anne Beiler, speaker, author, and entrepreneur who founded the world's largest pretzel franchise, Auntie Anne’s®. For years, she has inspired audiences with her authentic stories about nearly losing everything, finding purpose in the pain, and rising to a new level of success, and last week with our students was no different.
Tune in to hear the story behind Anne's journey from a young woman with no formal education past 8th grade to the owner of an international business that impacts millions daily, how she persevered through challenges and loss, and what advice she'd give to CEO students as they venture forward on their own entrepreneurial journeys.
