Our Creating Conscious Collisions Road Show took us to four incredible cities this month, where we met amazing entrepreneurs and expanded our networks. The Road Show connects individuals whose paths might not have crossed otherwise, creating collaboration, innovation, and growth opportunities. Every event brought us one step closer to building a more inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem where more people have the chance to succeed.
🎉 Celebrating the Sullivan Cohort
This year’s Sullivan cohort was a true success! With over $100,000 in services provided, we saw three business owners in the IFEL community gain invaluable insights from our marketing professionals. Teams of experts worked tirelessly for eight weeks to help these businesses sharpen their messaging, branding, and marketing strategies. The impact of this program will resonate for years to come, providing entrepreneurs with the tools they need to grow and succeed. A huge thank you to the Sullivan teams for their dedication and passion! 🙌
