Hillsborough County, Fla. (June 10, 2026) - June's Local Stories Live event is all about the youth movement and how young people can start their own business early, get a head start on their peers and make a difference in the community and their future.
This month, Local Stories Live brings together a pair of young entrepreneurs who started their own businesses before they could even vote. They will share how they got their start and what they already have learned about the life of an entrepreneur.
This session will offer inspiration, practical insights, and behind‑the‑scenes perspectives.
