    “The biggest takeaway for me would be the relationships,” Collins told the Indianapolis Recorder. “The power of a village and networking has been very impactful. It’s a great gateway to connect with people you may not typically work with or even meet.” 

    Collins, who is in his 20s, emphasized that access to this information is often scarce in his demographic. The program provided crucial knowledge about business structures like LLCs and credit that he can now pay forward.
