Sharing The Growth Lab Experience™️ with leaders recently.

The change theory is simple: when in-demand products and services are backed by the right systems, messaging, and support, growth is possible.

We're grateful to partner with brilliant people who want to see organizations and people thrive, and who love the work they do every day.

Jai Jonae is our Tech Consultant. Jai's company, Auxilio X, provides each business in the program with tech stack consulting and complimentary CRM services, empowering the right systems and messaging for participating businesses.

Manuel Patino is our Admin Coordinator. He's a highly engaged entrepreneurship major at UAB who dreams of owning his own skincare line one day. Whether he's scheduling, sourcing, or setting up, the goal is to strengthen his competencies for where he's going and support as much growth and development as possible.

Stay tuned for more. Our orientation is up next.

25 years looks like…

Recessions. New competitors. Changing neighborhoods. New technology. Early mornings. Late nights.

And opening the doors again tomorrow.

Legacy businesses don’t survive for decades by standing still.

They adapt.
They learn.
They solve problems.
They carry knowledge forward.

LEGACY BHM exists to recognize that history and invest in what comes next.
