- [00:00:00.330]My name is Alexa Carter.
- [00:00:01.710]I'm a freshman at UNL, and I invented the Chili Roll.
- [00:00:04.582](upbeat music)
- [00:00:14.850]The chili roll is a combination
- [00:00:18.330]of cinnamon roll and chili.
- [00:00:21.750]You're taking a traditional cinnamon roll,
- [00:00:24.030]and you're taking kind of the concept of chili,
- [00:00:26.280]just the meat the peppers and the onions,
- [00:00:28.440]and using that as a filling in the cinnamon roll
- [00:00:31.230]and then topping it with cream cheese frosting.
- [00:00:34.710]I just brought some to campus,
- [00:00:36.810]and like, I've had people taste 'em,
- [00:00:37.980]and they're just like, "Oh, like, yeah, like, that works.
- [00:00:40.290]Like, that's actually really good.
- [00:00:41.520]Like, I really like that."
- [00:00:43.770]So the Engler Agribusiness Entrepreneurship Program,
- [00:00:48.060]it really focuses on getting your businesses up and running
- [00:00:52.290]before you get out of college.
- [00:00:54.300]They give you $50,
- [00:00:56.190]and they say, "Here you go.
- [00:00:58.200]Start a business."
- [00:00:59.349](upbeat music) (spray can hisses)
- [00:01:01.350]Hopefully, I will be able to get a trailer,
- [00:01:06.090]be able to sell it at tailgates, and just kind of push.
- [00:01:08.130]Like, it can move around.
- [00:01:09.780]It doesn't have to be in one place.
- [00:01:12.660]It just kind of gives me a lot of variety on what I can do
- [00:01:15.060]and where I can have it.
- [00:01:16.950]We grew our own beef to make these,
- [00:01:19.320]so a lot of these products are gonna be coming
- [00:01:21.510]from our family farm,
- [00:01:23.190]and I think that that's super, super important
- [00:01:25.560]because it's also not only my business,
- [00:01:28.380]but it's also my dad's business that he has.
- [00:01:30.840]The way she's going,
- [00:01:31.860]I think she can open up so many doors
- [00:01:34.440]to, you know, entrepreneurship and small business
- [00:01:39.090]and local industries to thrive.
- [00:01:43.380]I definitely do wanna see it go
- [00:01:45.390]to a bigger scale eventually,
- [00:01:47.910]but I do want to try it on the local level first.
- [00:01:51.539](tray clinks) (upbeat music)
- [00:01:54.240]I want to do something that shows other people
- [00:01:56.550]that they can do the same thing,
- [00:01:57.960]even if it's just a little idea
- [00:02:00.180]because that's really where mine started.
- [00:02:02.550]It's just, like, great to talk about.
- [00:02:04.980]Like, I've told so many people, and they're like,
- [00:02:06.367]"Wow, like, I'm so proud of you."
- [00:02:07.680]And I'm like, "Thank you."
- [00:02:09.390]Like, I didn't expect it, so it's been so good.
- [00:02:13.650]I couldn't have asked for a better freshman year.
- [00:02:16.270](upbeat music)
