We love to help students see the real world of business as they navigate their CEO journey each year. The realities of the hard work, the pushing when you would rather quit, the amazing feeling of so many hours of development that gets rolled out in one day. It's been quite a semester so far with about 5 weeks remaining before we have 2026 graduates. One of the important aspects for students to learn is balance. Work hard. Play hard. It's part of the joys of owning your business! So, after our pitch competition and the many hours leading up to it, we celebrated as a team at Cracker Barrel on Friday morning. This has become our official breakfast spot the past few years after a few of our big milestones. More than anything, it also allows our students to connect as friends and honestly, I think they will always feel like family as part of the Gateway CEO Class of 2026. Good times for sure!
