Real talk. What does your website actually look like right now?

If the honest answer makes you wince, our next Table Talk is for you. We are digging into digital marketing basics that actually move the needle for small businesses. Friday, August 21, 6 to 8PM at the BDC.

One of our recent business academy graduates completed cohort 21 last week with a plan already in motion. Oh, and she is still in high school. We are so proud of her!

If starting a business has been on your list for 2026, do not cross it off just yet. The last Cohort 22 session of the year begins in a little over a month. Reach out to learn more.

Today we are officially 1 month away from our business bootcamp! If you have been sitting on a business idea, this is your sign to stop keeping it there and bring it here.

Before every ribbon-cutting, there are months of showing up, learning, and betting on yourself. Our graduates walked in here with an idea and are walking out there with a business plan, a network, and the confidence to run it. Cohort 21 crosses the finish line soon, and we could not be prouder of the work they put in.

If you missed last Wednesday, you missed the room where people finally got their funding questions answered. 💼

Our Table Talk with the URA got into the real stuff. Access to capital is the wall most business owners hit, and too many folks are out here guessing at what programs exist and who qualifies. Nobody left that room still guessing.

Next one is for anyone who has ever thought: I know I need to be online, but I have no idea where to start.

Maybe you have been shooting your shot with social media with nothing to show for it. Maybe you built a website once and it has been sitting there ever since. Maybe you are just starting out and the whole thing feels like too much.

Dr. Lesli is breaking down what digital marketing actually is and how the pieces work together, so you stop guessing and start being intentional. Darrin Ward is covering websites and design and how to build one that works for your business instead of just existing.

The goal is simple. Turn your online presence into something profitable.

Today is the day. Table Talk on URA funding happens tonight, and there is still time to join us. Come sit in a room full of people building something of their own, ask the questions you have been sitting on, and leave with a clearer path than the one you walked in here with. See you there at 6.

Every business owner hits a season where the to do list grows faster than the hours in the day. Here is the tip we keep coming back to with our entrepreneurs. Get clear on the two or three things that actually grow revenue, and protect that time like it is payroll. Everything else can wait until you get there.

What is the one task you know you should be prioritizing?

07/08/2026

One week out from Table Talk. If you have ever wondered whether your business qualifies for local funding, this is the room where you find the answer. Come with your questions, because the guidance you pick up here could shape the move you make when you get there. Doors open at 6.

Growth rarely comes from doing more. It usually comes from doing the right things on repeat. The owners we work with here learn to build systems so the business does not fall apart the moment they step away. Put the process in place now and future you will thank you when you get there. Which part of your business needs a system first?
