We did it! Week One of our new AIM High+Plus program for 18-25+ yr olds was an undisputed success!
Speakers Bob Burns (Stifel) and Tyler Boden (Boden Energy Systems) literally teed up the rest of the series with a slam dunk presentation to get the group fired up and ready for 7-weeks of career building skills.
The round table leaders representing the Young Innovators Network (YIN), Rick Rodriguez (Rod’s Tree Service) and Jack Fallon (Cross Path Capital/Seedboy), also did a fabulous job adding even more value to the afternoon by sharing their insights and experiences into what has made their careers successful thus far.
We literally ran out of time with most of the group wanting more. Luckily for them, we have a BONUS Roundtable Discussion this Thursday on Writing Careers featuring screenwriter M. Raven Metzner, author Kim Hooper and journalist Shelley Murphy! More to come on that in the next post!

Tanish first walked through our doors as a 17-yr old senior attending our regular AIM High program. His warm and friendly demeanor and the way he’d always volunteer to help out in whatever way he could made him the perfect candidate for work experience hours (WEX) through Ready Set OC.
During the next few months he became not only a valuable employee and team player, but a good friend and peer mentor to everyone who interacted with him and attended our programs. His WEX hours are up and he’s moving on to work in an office that will take him closer towards his goal of becoming an aerospace engineer, and they will be lucky to have him!
Fortunately for us, it’s not a clean break because he will be returning as an 18-yr old graduate for our AIM High+Plus program, so in a sense he’s come full circle! And even though the friendships he made will long outlast his job with us, we celebrated his last working day with dinner at the fab Inka Mama’s (located conveniently right behind our building). Owner Stavros Lozano even let the team explore his hidden jail/speakeasy rooms afterwards!
We’re gonna miss you Tanish, but “BRO, IT’S BEEN FYEEEE!!!” 🔥🤣🫶🏽
