Entrepreneurship on the RISE

Warren Reid on Present, Community-Centered Leadership

RISE Collaborative Season 1 Episode 8

Not everyone has the privilege to travel the world, so it is even more important for the ones that can to bring some of that knowledge and perspective back to their small towns for the greater benefit. This week, episode 8 of Entrepreneurship on the RISE Podcast is about present, community-centered leadership! 

CO.STARTERS Generator is a modular self-paced program that helps middle school, high school, and college students explore their passions through generating, testing, and launching ideas for businesses and social ventures. With the ability to participate individually or with a classroom or community group, CO.STARTERS Generator is a great way to inspire youth with the vision, enthusiasm, and tenacity needed to move from idea to action. 

In this episode of Entrepreneurship on the RISE Podcast, Jacob and Lauren, joined by their guest Warren Reid are sharing the ways in which Warren’s life growing up in an entrepreneurship family has lead him to become a natural leader himself and the importance of being yourself and following your own path to success. Some of the talking points we go over in this episode include:

  • How traveling the world has influenced his role as a community leader. 
  • What it means to be a present leader and how that impacts the relationships you have with the people you serve.  
  • Warren’s vision for what the future of Farmville and surrounding counties could look like if they came together to support one another. 
  • Preparing our future leaders to be true to themselves, stand up for themselves, and follow their dreams without walking in someone else’s shadow. 
  • Advice for entrepreneurs that isn’t taught in school and how the education system can improve to better prepare our future entrepreneurs. 

Be the best person you can be. You don’t have to follow a strict path in order to succeed because as long as you stay true to yourself, you can make it happen without following the grain.
