Air duct systems are dark, cramped spaces most people never see.

That makes them easy territory for bad actors to prey on.

BBB ScamTracker data shows a pattern.

Complaints often start with an ad on Facebook, Instagram or Nextdoor.

A rock bottom price gets people in the door. The final bill comes in far higher.

Peabody Award-winning investigative journalist and host of Joe Knows Better - Joe Ducey breaks down how to spot the red flags before anyone touches your ductwork.

| Congratulations to the BBB Breakthrough Accelerator Phoenix Cohort, our newest graduates and the 12th cohort to complete the program!

For 12 weeks, these small business owners showed up every Wednesday ready to grow and put new ideas to work. They spent more than 40 hours learning, asking questions and working on their businesses, all while continuing to run them.

Each speaker brought a different perspective on building a stronger business, and this cohort met every session with curiosity, honesty and a genuine willingness to learn. Along the way, they strengthened more than their business strategies; they built relationships with people who understood the challenges, risks and rewards of small business ownership.

Hosted by BBB, this cohort was supported by our presenting sponsor, Desert Financial Credit Union along with LifeGuides, First Things First, West Valley Mavericks Foundation, Arizona Public Service - APS, Ampra, Snell & Wilmer, Salt River Project, U & Improved and SCORE Mentors. Their investment helped give these small business owners the guidance, resources and support to keep moving forward.

A special thank-you to Arizona Lullaby Guild for providing on-site childcare, allowing parent entrepreneurs to fully participate and RAK Meal Prep for serving up delicious Mexican food and desserts for everyone to enjoy.

Today, we’re proud to celebrate their graduation and everything it represents: 12 weeks of commitment, progress and belief in what their businesses can become.

Congratulations, Cohort 12. We can’t wait to see what you build next.

| San Diego, you showed up. Our first fully in-person Industrious Women’s Summit in San Diego welcomed a sold-out crowd of 150 guests and what a way to conclude this year’s three-city series.

Our speakers and panelists shared honest perspectives on leadership, business growth, financial confidence and the realities behind success. The conversations continued over lunch, at the business booths, around the IWS Collective Canvas and into happy hour.

Thank you to our speakers, panelists and moderators for sharing your experiences so openly, to our sponsors for making the day possible and to every guest who contributed an idea, asked a thoughtful question or encouraged someone else in the room. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to close this year’s summit series.
