Think like an entrepreneur

The cofounders of WEquil School, Sumay and Aila McPhail, gave a speech to group of Girls Scouts in Falls Church Virginia on April 29, 2021.

They also discuss the growing success of WEquil School, a project based virtual leadership training platform that helps young people learn to think like an entrepreneur.
