What if failure wasn't the end of the story, but the beginning of something bigger?

Join us for the annual FAIL Fest, a special edition of Startup Coffee featuring entrepreneur and community builder Greg Tehven!

FAIL stands for First Attempt In Learning, and this event is all about embracing setbacks, learning from mistakes, and recognizing that some of the greatest successes start with things not going according to plan.

From the early days of Students Today Leaders Forever (STLF) to helping launch Emerging Prairie and growing initiatives like Grand Farm, Greg has experienced the challenges, unexpected turns, and lessons that come with building something new. He'll share stories from his entrepreneurial journey, including the wins, the failures, and what he's learned along the way.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, business owner, student, or someone with an idea, come ready for an honest conversation about taking risks, learning as you go, and moving forward when things don't work out.

Join us Wednesday, October 28, from 8:30 to 9:30 AM at NSU’s Business and Health Innovation Center. Grab a cup of coffee, connect with others, and leave with a new perspective on failure and success.

Free and open to campus and the community!
