We’d like to send a big thank you to Kyle Janvrin of Janvrin’s Plumbing for spending time with our CEO students! 🔧

Kyle shared valuable insight on the importance of the trades—even for students who are college-bound—and how strong communication skills are essential in any career or business. He also busted a common myth—plumbing is rarely about unclogging toilets! 👏

One of the biggest takeaways? Life is not a straight line, and sometimes the unexpected paths lead to the greatest opportunities.

Students appreciated Kyle’s honesty as he shared both the challenges of owning a business and the perks that come with it. His story of taking over a family business gave a real-world perspective on responsibility, growth, and continuing a legacy.

He also brought great energy to the room—engaging with students, asking thoughtful questions about their individual businesses, and offering encouragement along the way. That kind of genuine interest makes a lasting impact.

Thank you, Kyle, for investing in our students and helping them think bigger about their futures! 🙌
