Elevating Local Commerce: Small Business Saturday on Market Street, Corning This year's Small Business Saturday in Corning showcased the remarkable impact of local entrepreneurship and community engagement. Market Street transformed into a vibrant hub of creativity, featuring independent retailers offering unique products and personalized experiences that large corporate chains simply cannot replicate. The event highlighted the critical economic and social value of small businesses. Entrepreneurs demonstrated their passion through curated selections, special promotions, and genuine connections with customers. Each purchase represents more than a transaction—it's an investment in local jobs, community vitality, and individual dreams. Visitors discovered an impressive array of artisanal goods, from handcrafted jewelry to distinctive home decor, experiencing the true essence of personalized retail. The day underscored how supporting local businesses strengthens community bonds and drives economic sustainability. Small Business Saturday isn't just an annual event; it's a powerful reminder of the entrepreneurial spirit that defines our local economies. By choosing to shop small, we contribute to a more dynamic, interconnected business ecosystem that reflects our community's unique character and creativity.

Yesterday, I was out in Houston, visiting some of my favorite boutique stores—not to shop, but to pitch advertisements for BEAUTE in Tech Magazine. It felt like a full-circle moment: walking into local businesses, sharing my vision, and building relationships—just like I did when I first started my entrepreneurial journey. It’s easy to get caught up in the grind and forget to pause, but I made a point to stop and capture the moment. Why? Because one day, this part of the journey will be the story that reminds me of how it all began: just me, a big idea, and a lot of hustle. Starting a publication that connects beauty and fashion tech isn’t simple, but it’s the kind of challenge that keeps me motivated. One conversation, one pitch, and one “yes” at a time. Here’s to celebrating the small wins and sharing the process that makes it all possible. #Womenentreprenuers #femalefounder #Latinafounder #womenintech #Womenbusinessowners #Houstonentreprenuers #Houstonbusiness

Heard from a founder on our latest edition of OrangeWIP... "This is absolutely amazing! This whole endeavor has been a joy from the start and I'm honored and grateful for your consideration, enthusiasm, and professionalism, as well as hitting a high bar for design.

It’s been almost two years since I decided to step out on fairh. Since then @ceallecreative r has graced Time Square billboards as well as a whole host of other accomplishments. Last night In the midst of inventory I took a moment to recognize and be thankful how far I’ve come. Operating Cealle Creative is a challenging yet rewarding experiences. When I took the leap to follow my passion for fashion, it felt like I had just given birth to a new child—one that needed constant nurturing, attention, and sacrifice. There have been many days where the road felt lonely, and I questioned if I had the strength to keep going.** But here’s the truth: entrepreneurship is a journey. It’s not a sprint; it’s a marathon. And while it can be overwhelming, those moments of doubt are what make the victories that much sweeter. To all the dreamers, creators, and hustlers—stay in the race. Even when it feels like you’re running on empty, remember why you started. Some days will feel heavier than others, but your dedication will pave the way for your success. Keep feeding that vision, keep pushing, and most importantly, keep believing in yourself.?? We’re in this together. ??” ceallecreative.com #CealleCreative #EntrepreneurLife #CreativeJourney #FashionEntrepreneur #Slaythecourse #KeepGoing #DreamBig #StayInspired #CreativeBusiness #HarlemBorn #WomensFashion #SweetMemories #BelieveInYourself #ChaseYourDreams ???????

Milestones are important to celebrate. We have reached 25/100 Firms (thanks for your trust), launched V1 of the industry’s best home-grown technology suite to the Firms, and deployed our newest website (bye splash page). As our Co-Founder, Matt Murphy, MBA says, “if any of this looks the same in six months, we are not doing our job”. As one of our Firms said, “we will strive for perfection, never to achieve it” - all in the name of our Owner-Firms. Constant innovation is part of that calculus. With humility, our demonstrated distribution capabilities and emerging technological dominance makes The Ridgeback Group a radically different alternative. Coupled with the largest Ownership opportunity in independent distribution, why would you not consider a call if you qualify? All these great Firms can’t be wrong. 25% full…talk? Cole Teegarden is here to help. Or, call the personal cell phones of me, Eric Eklund, Esq., CEPA, or Matt Murphy, MBA. Message us if you don’t have it. We are on the “Verizon plan” - nights and weekends. We are never out of reach, ever.

???????? ???????????????? ?????????? ?????????????? ???? ???????????????? ?? ??????????: ???? ?????????????? ???? ?????? ?????????????? ???????????????? I still remember my first day joining the family business back in 2012. I was excited but clueless about how things really worked. My father, who’s been in the #textile business for decades, gave me my first direction: “?????????? ???????? ??????????. ????????’?? ?????????? ??????’???? ?????????? ???????????????????? ?????? ????????????????.” And so I did. I spent my days meeting customers, listening to their needs, and figuring out how to deliver exactly what they were looking for. Those early #years taught me things no textbook could—how to build #trust, close #deals, and nurture long-term #relationships. I realized early on: ?? ???????????? ???????????????? ???? ?????????? ???? ???????????? ??????????????????????????. Over the years, I transitioned into #finance and #operations. From managing budgets to collaborating with garmenteers, every step helped me see the textile industry from a new lens. Then came the big leap— Keshvi Apparels. Starting our own #garment manufacturing firm was anything but smooth. The first two years were full of challenges: production struggles, steep learning curves, and moments where we questioned if we could keep going. But then came a turning point. During #COVID, when the world seemed to pause, something unexpected happened— ?? ?????????? ???? ????????????. We worked day and night, doubled our production capacity, and came out stronger than ever. Today, we manufacture nearly ??.?? ?????????????? ???????????????? annually. Our business has grown by ????% ????????-????-????????, and we’re proud to be among the ?????? ??-???????????????? ?????????????? ???? ??????????. Looking back, I’m proud to carry forward my family's legacy while building something of my own. Here’s what I’ve learned along the way: ???????????? ?????????? ????????. ????’?? ?????????? ?????????????? ???? ?????????? ??????, ?????????????? ????????????????????, ?????? ???????????? ??????????—???????? ???????? ?????? ???????? ???????? ?????????????? ??????. To every #entrepreneur, especially those balancing family legacy and new dreams: What was your first role, and how did it shape who you are today? Let’s connect and learn from each other.
