Perry Start-Up Week Summit 2026

Hey Leaders,

I had a great time speaking at the Perry Startup Week Summit and sharing an Entrepreneurship 101 keynote with an outstanding group of 50–60 aspiring and current entrepreneurs!

We explored key foundations every entrepreneur needs to understand, including:

✅ The mindset and mentality of an entrepreneur

✅ Defining your business value proposition

✅ How to identify and validate opportunity

✅ Different paths to business ownership

✅ SBA tools and resources available to support entrepreneurs at every stage

One of the highlights was connecting with the SBA Resource Partners who were in attendance—organizations that play a critical role in helping entrepreneurs turn ideas into sustainable businesses (photo attached). I was grateful for the opportunity to pour into the Middle Georgia entrepreneurial community and excited about the growth happening right here in Perry and Middle Georgia!
