The 4th Friday of every month is when we party with GR’s finest for Your Biz Your Town. This past week, Shelley and I chatted with HopCat GR, AM Yoga and New Holland Brewing. You can listen to the full segment here.Â
Our friends at HopCat had our mouth’s watering with their Grandwich creation which is Chilean style skirt steak, on a kaiser roll. Topped with fresh green beans, haystack onions, muenster cheese and house made merquén style sauce. The top 10 are actually announced this week and we can’t imagine HopCat not being named. To find out more about Grandwich and to see the full list of participating restaurants go to, grandwichgr.com.
After you chow down on HopCat’s Grandwich, head over to AM Yoga for some meditating and stretching with owners, Mali and Ashley. AM Yoga uses three elements (sadhana, satusung, and seva) to experience a state of I AM. They offer classes at their studio, your business, your home, or at an event. To find out more go to, amyoga111.com.
We have all seen the huge construction project happening on the corner of Bridge and Broadway and though our patience may wear thin, we know all good things come to those that wait. New Holland Brewing Co. will open this fall and feature a 3 story tall beer garden, a multitude of event space and locally sourced food. They are also hiring, with over 100 restaurant and brewery jobs open. To find out more go to newhollandbrew.com.
There is so much happening in GR, it is hard to narrow it down to 3 guests a month. Tune in next month, August 22nd.

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.

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.
