With Thanksgiving approaching, I am tempted to fixate on things broken (our oven, national politics, the homlessness crisis, etc) or the never ceasing things that frustrate our daily lives (9 months for a dental appointment, replacement part shortages, frozen Zoom meetings, gas prices, delayed mountain opening, etc).

This week our Student Entrepreneur Series continues with Champlain College marketing student Riley Seith. Riley is the founder of Laces, an app created for users to make running safe, easy, and more fun! Part one, part two.
