We take "Focus" out of the studio for this special half-hour.

The focus is the "Florida Youth Economic Development Conference", held recently at Miami Dade College North campus.

CBS4 was a proud sponsor of the event which brought together hundreds of young people aged 14-24.

Through various workshops, speeches and meetings, participants interacted with some of the country's leading educators, trainers, and entrepreneurs.

Segments include highlights of a Town Hall moderated by CBS4's Jim DeFede. Plus, "Focus" host & CBS4 News Anchor Rudabeh Shahbazi sat down for an extensive interview with two South Florida teen entrepreneurs who have already accomplished more than some people do in a lifetime.

Rudabeh also talks to two teens who participated in one of the conference breakout sessions titled "My Voice Matters".
