Your Biz Your Town – Beer, Wine, Data and Young People

Share the goods.

A few of our favorite things are beer, wine and networking. This month’s Your Biz Your Town encompassed all of this in a short 15 minutes…and no were weren’t drinking during the segment (not for lack of trying).
Hudsonville Winery, Pike 51 Brewing, GRYP and BizStream joined us in studio on this chilly but beautiful 4th Friday in February. Let’s just say the timing was on point with the Winter Beer Festival starting today out at Fifth Third Ballpark. Do you have your tickets?
If  you can’t get your hands on tickets, no worries. Pike 51 has you covered – they will have all the beers they are featuring ready for you to sample at their brewery. So…if you enjoy warmth when you drink – you are in luck! To find out more visit their website, the beer is going to go fast due to limited quantity. While your there, try out the sangria – you can thank us later.
Local business, BizStream will also be at the Winter Beer Fest…well as participants – somebody has to sample the beer. Did you know that BizStream is a company full of self-proclaimed geeks? The company provides custom web design and development – think BIG, like really BIG sites and builds custom software. They also share their knowledge through their BizStream Academy which teaches the ins and outs of development…you know if you are into that sort of thing.
Our friends at GRYP are also big fans of beer, well hosting events that allow members to consume beer or wine or liquor or water (though the latter is kind of lame). Growing your professional network is key to growing your career and GRYP is dedicated to connecting young professionals through events. They have a whole host of events coming up, March 1st is Trivia Night at Rez Lounge. Be there.
Now, go out and drink some beer. Maybe we’ll see you at Beer Fest.

Something on Your Mind?

Who made all these rules anyway?

Don’t wear color. Don’t share your ideas. Don’t put yourself out there. Don’t talk about your family.

We’re told to follow them, but @bodespeaks says question every single one. Then uncover your big hairy audacious goal, throw out the rulebook, and build a personal brand that actually works for you.

Thank you to Aggie and Cristy for having Kim on the @badass_women_in_business Podcast and, well... for being total badasses.

Listen to the full episode in bio.
We had some fun in the office this week and asked some of the 8THIRTYFOUR team what “square up” means.

Surprisingly, the Gen Z of the group got it, but one of our Gen X’s did not (not saying any names…)

How do you “square up”?

We love Dr. Karen May’s mission.

What if we taught our daughters AND our sons about women’s health, hormones, and pregnancy? Not as a whispered “talk” or a one-time awkward conversation. Just normal dinner-table stuff.

The girls deserve to know what’s coming (perimenopause shouldn’t be a surprise party nobody wanted). And the boys? They’ll be partners, dads, coworkers, and bosses to women going through all of it.

Thank you, Dr. May, for sharing your best practices to keep the women’s health conversation going at our Uncomfortable Conversations | The Pause event.
Showing up to an interview with an iced coffee? Not the move… unless it’s for @bodespeaks
