?? Fun News! ??
I’m taking over the Seriously Connected podcast this November! ????? I’ll be sharing real talk about what it takes to build the innovation economy from the ground up, and I’m bringing some incredible friends along for the ride!
Drawing from my background—launching Plumb Oyster Bar (where I learned to hustle and scale), working in banking to unlock capital for entrepreneurs, and diving into economic development where I saw firsthand the impact of government investment and private investment—I’m here to break down the silos and get people on the same page for real change. ??
In Episode 1, I’ll be joined by my friend Jeffrey Buell. Many don’t think of Jeff as an entrepreneur, but he absolutely is. His work in economic development and bold community projects is the definition of entrepreneurship—just in a different package. We’ll dive into how he’s reshaping communities, taking risks, burning boats, and breaking barriers to make a lasting impact. ??
We’ll also talk about the values that drive our work—integrity, impact, and collaboration—and how staying true to these values is essential for real progress.
Here’s a sneak peek at what we’ll cover:
?? Insights You Can Use: How entrepreneurs, economic developers, and higher ed institutions can collaborate effectively and break down silos for real innovation.
?? No-Fluff Strategies: Actionable advice on getting everyone aligned and working toward shared goals, featuring stories from inspiring guests who’ve made it happen.
?? Real Stories, Real Impact: Lessons from the trenches on what works, what doesn’t, and how to push forward with purpose.
If you’re passionate about making an impact and want to get Seriously Connected, don’t miss this! Big things are coming! ???
