Holland Museum: Art and Propaganda in Nazi-Occupied Holland
The Holland Museum will reveal its newest temporary exhibition, Art and Propaganda in Nazi-Occupied Holland, to the public on Friday, April 4. As part of a traveling exhibit from the Anne Frank Center USA, Dutch resistance art and propaganda will be on display as well as pieces from the Holland Museum’s archive collection. Art and Propaganda will remain at the museum until October 4, 2014. Extended museum hours have been put in place to ensure everyone has the chance to view the powerful display of Dutch history during World War II.
The images represented in the exhibition evoke the horror of German concentration camps, as well as the hardship and suffering endured by Hollanders during World War II. Pieces also display the blatant propaganda of the Nazi Party, which encouraged the Dutch population to support the heroic struggle of the German Wehrmacht against the dark forces of Bolshevism. Posters created by the Dutch government and Allied forces will be available for viewing. The Holland Museum is currently the only cultural facility in the United States showcasing the exhibit.
This is a time in history, we are meant to remember, never forget and always commemorate.

The power of the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship, in a graduate's own words:

"Growth is never accidental, it comes from being willing to learn, adapt, and embrace change. After nine months of dedication, reflection, and business development, I proudly graduated from the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship (WEF) during the Small Business Association of Michigan Annual Meeting.

Throughout the program, I challenged myself to evaluate every aspect of my business, celebrating what was working while identifying opportunities for growth and improvement. The journey was made even more meaningful through the support of an incredible cohort of women entrepreneurs, the guidance of mentor Gina Jacquart Thorsen, and the leadership of bodespeaks and her team.

A sincere thank you to smallbusinessassocofmichigan for investing in second-stage women business owners and creating opportunities that empower entrepreneurs to build stronger, more sustainable businesses."

— Mary A. Barton, President and CEO of Equitable Accounting Solutions and proud WEF graduate.

Applications for the next cohort are now open. Link in comments.
"Out of failure comes growth – you have to see it as an opportunity." 

bodespeaks joined cuzzinjustin on the strictlyfromnowhere Podcast for an honest conversation about entrepreneurship, embracing your superpowers, and building a personal brand that's actually yours, the wins, the setbacks, and everything in between.

AI doesn't treat every source equally; it trusts what's credible, cited, and current, like news coverage.

Showing up in the right places isn't just good PR. It's how the robots (and the humans) get you right.

"If you don't get up and grind every day, the needle isn't gonna move."

We sat down with brandonmccraney, founder and Master Blender behind olderaleighdistillery in Zebulon, North Carolina. Brandon spent fifteen years just thinking about whiskey before he finally opened his doors, and even then it took four more years, a dozen rejections, construction delays, and a global pandemic to get there. Two years later, Olde Raleigh had already won Best Micro Distillery in the US.

Check out the latest episode of Happy Hour Hustle, where Brandon shares what it actually took to grow a business through COVID, the military discipline that kept him going when everything else said quit, and how working with people turned out to be the hardest part of the job.
