Cup of Joe: Real Talk with Entrepreneurs

Grab a cup of coffee and pull up a chair. Cup of Joe is a candid conversation between two entrepreneurs reflecting on their journeys – what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what’s next. This isn’t a panel. It’s not a lecture. It’s a real dialogue between business owners who’ve been in the trenches.

They’ll share how programs like those provided by WWBIC helped shape their path, the tangible resources they used, the funding challenges they faced, and the hard-won victories that came with new lessons and responsibilities. You’ll hear firsthand how access to capital, coaching, and community support influenced their decisions – and how they’re preparing for what’s ahead.

We’ll close with one simple but powerful question: If you could go back to step one, what advice would you give yourself?
