What\u2019s the hardest part? How does the business change seasonally?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These were just a few of the questions asked at Two Pines Supply by Middle Park High School students participating in the inaugural career cab, which links up students with local business owners and entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, 14 students in the business class spoke with Two Pines Supply owner Chris Olivier about all of the aspects involved in owning a business. The goal of the career cab, a Grand County Higher Education program, is to educate students through experience.<\/p>\n<p>Olivier shared what it was like to start a brand in Grand County, some of his best advice and what he\u2019s learned as a business owner. Then students got to ask questions and tour the business.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus Saldivar, president of the Future Business Leaders of America, said he is interested in starting his own brand of clothing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow do you make your customers see your vision for your company and how it\u2019s different from everyone else?\u201d he asked Olivier.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to making a business unique, Olivier advised it\u2019s all about telling a story.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Business teacher CarrieAnn Grayson said the program not only engages students by getting them out of class and in the community, but it helps them build knowledge and relationships that will be useful in their futures.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skyhinews.com\/news\/new-career-cab-program-educates-students-at-local-businesses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Sky-Hi News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two Pines Supply owner Chris Olivier speaks to students about finding his building and designing his store.McKenna Harford \/ mharford@skyhinews.com Jesus Saldivar, president of the Future Business Leaders of America club, asked about differentiating your brand.McKenna Harford \/ mharford@skyhinews.com Other students asked about difficulties owning a small business, seasonal changes and operations.McKenna Harford \/ mharford@skyhinews.com [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-19721","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-local-news"},"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-06-15 09:35:25","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KRKY Ski Country","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19721","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19721"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19721\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19735,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19721\/revisions\/19735"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19721"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19721"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19721"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
