Indio Skinner, a graduating business administration major with a concentration in marketing at NC State University, is known for a lighthearted tradition of asking students their favorite ice cream flavor and returning with it. Behind that is a much longer journey shaped by an early drive to build, sell and turn ideas into something real. 🚀

Growing up, he was already selling gum, lemonade and later terrariums to local businesses, but college expanded that drive. Surrounded by ambitious peers, he leaned into NC State's entrepreneurship ecosystem, where experiences like Minute to Pitch It, VenturePack Challenge, LaunchPad and a Silicon Valley trip helped him learn what it takes to bring ideas to life. 🏆️

What shaped him most was the community around him. Professors, mentors and fellow students opened doors to events, travel and opportunities that pushed his perspective far beyond the classroom. As he reflected, “Making genuine connections everywhere you go is one of the most powerful skills you can develop.” 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

After graduation, he plans to use social media and content creation to help others live more intentionally and lead with love. He aspires to become a speaker, host retreats and travel globally to inspire others to rethink how they approach life. 🌎️
