Our class had the opportunity to hear from Riley Pruemer, who shared his journey of entrepreneurship from videography and wedding filmmaking to launching Wheat Penny. He talked about taking risks, learning from business partnerships, and how social media can truly help build a strong community and brand. His story showed that success doesn’t come all at once, but through growth, hard work, and stepping outside your comfort zone. We were also able to tour the co-working space at The Exchange. What a unique concept!

Thank you, Riley, for sharing your experiences and advice with us. We really appreciate the time you took to speak to our class! If you get the chance, go visit Wheat Penny, it’s a beautiful space you won’t want to miss.
