Running a business looks different once you’re actually in it.
This panel brings together four local founders and business owners for a straight-talking conversation about what nobody mentions before you start: the money mistakes, the decisions they’d change, the parts of the job nobody warns you about.
No polished pitch decks. No “just work hard and believe in yourself.” Just real answers from people who’ve been through it, followed by an open Q&A so you can ask what you actually want to know.
Whether you’re already running a business or thinking about starting one, come for the honesty and stay for the conversation afterward.
