Episode Highlights

05:18 - We're a marketplace, but we really are an entrepreneurial hub. So we are a non-traditional incubator. In addition to that, we also have event space that we use for ourselves. Some of our business owners in-house use it, but then others come and rent it out.

08:41 - The beauty of us being the foundation is everything doesn't have to happen in the building. We've got some amazing partnerships around the city and around the state in which we can go there, they can come here to do this programming, and to work together and to partner and collaborate.

34:08 - Don't be afraid to ask or seek out resources because there are so many resources or spaces that can help when you feel like you're struggling. No matter if it's financial, physical, mental. If you're entrepreneur starting your business, there are so many resources out there right now if you just look for them or go talk to the right people to tell you who has them.
