SUMMARY:Your Kid Wants to Start a Business: Here's How to Help
DESCRIPTION:You will walk out of this event knowing exactly what to say the next time your kid pitches you their big idea. \nThis is: 1/3 lecture. 1/3 sharing. 1/3 workshop. 100% useful. \nDoes your kid have a business idea but no idea what to do next? Is your kid super entrepreneurial? \nMost young entrepreneurs get stuck. Not because they lack creativity. Because nobody showed them the structure. \nMost kids (and most adults) think a business is just a product and a customer. But the real magic happens when a young founder learns to think like a CEO: how to test an idea\, build a simple system\, and grow something that doesn’t collapse the moment they’re not paying attention. \nI’ve taught 10\,000+ students in my career. The kids who get to build aren’t always the most talented\, they’re the ones who had one adult in their corner who knew how to channel the idea. Support. Strength. \nThat adult can be you. You don’t need a business background. You just need a framework. \nYou’ll learn how to evaluate your kid’s idea without crushing it\, help them learn through experimenting\, and learn what questions to ask instead of giving answers. We’ll talk about how to set up the simplest possible first step and how to make the whole thing a genuine learning experience\, even if it “fails.” \nYour host: Kelly Kirk\, founder of Kelly Tutors\, educator to 10\,000+ students\, nominee for “Rising Leader” at the 2023 Women in Toys Wonder Women Awards\, and a participant of the 2025 White House AI Presidential Challenge. \n📅 Schedule:\n12:00–12:15 Arrival + Networking\n12:15–12:45 Kid Business 101 (what actually works\, and what backfires)\n12:45–1:00 Guided discussion\n1:00–1:30 Workshop + Q&A (bring your kid’s idea we’re mapping it out today) \nFree. Green Lake Library\, Seattle Public Library. July 1\, 12–1:30pm.

SUMMARY:How to Manage 10 Interns as a Solo Founder with No Money
DESCRIPTION:​You will walk out of this event with intern applications and a system for bringing on a team to help you build. \n​This is: 1/3 lecture. 1/3 sharing. 1/3 workshop.\n100% useful. \n​Does your business revolve around you? \n​That’s not sustainable. \n​Most successful companies get stuck at 5 or 6 figures because everything depends on the founder. Business coaches call this “the owner’s trap.” \nI learned this long-term mindset years ago when my business partner snuck me into a 4-day business scaling seminar. (It was only for people making a million or more a year – she was\, so I was her +1.) \n​Then at a completely different event this year\, industry leaders said the best thing you can do right now (if you have your own business) is to offer internships… \n​The results have been fantastic. I’ve had thousands of applicants\, 11 interns taken on and counting\, with only about 5 hours a week spent across all of them. They get real-world experience\, learn to value their own ideas\, and add the exact job of their dreams to their resume. \n​You’ll learn how to find 10+ interns\, set up a system\, make it a win-win for everyone\, follow the rules\, and grow your business\, all while spending only ~5 hours a week managing all of them. \nYour host: Kelly Kirk\, founder of Kelly Tutors\, educator to 10\,000+ students\, and currently managing 11 interns on a shoestring budget. \n​📅 Schedule: \n​12:00–12:15 Arrival + Networking \n​12:15–12:45 Intern Onboarding 101 \n​12:45–1:00 Guided discussion \n​1:00–1:30 Build + Networking (bring your laptop — you’re posting your first internship today) \n​Free. Capitol Hill Branch\, Seattle Public Library. June 24\, 12–1:30pm.
