Entrepreneurship is alive and well at WSU-V!

By May 6, 2025Coaching, People, Team

Entrepreneurship is alive and well at Washington State University Vancouver!

I had the honor of being asked to mentor a team in the BG-MAP (Business Growth Mentor and Analysis Program) at WSU-V.

It was a truly rewarding experience to see the enthusiasm and intellect of this group of fine up-and-coming entrepreneurs.

Watching them navigate the program, their openness to mentoring (Coaching), their guts and tenacity, and finally, their drive to the finish line was profoundly inspiring.

I also enjoyed partnering with my long-time friend and colleague, Tony Johnson of Davidson & Associates Insurance Agency, Inc. So great to once again engage with Tony on a community project.

We thoroughly enjoyed working with the client, Johnson Construction NW LLC, who was a joy to work with and was so appreciative of the team’s efforts.

All in all, this was a great semester with a great outcome. I am so glad that I offered to help.

If you love entrepreneurship and want to support these young professionals, be a mentor in the program.

Here are the six young entrepreneurs who deserve a spot on any team:

Maria Jose Conti
Chris Sanford
Adolfo Santos-Parrillas
Alexy Rodriguez
Dylan Ravander
Ryan Murray
