Your Biz Your Town – August

8THIRTYFOUR: Your Biz Your Town - August

Where has the time gone?
The summer has flown by, and it’s already time for August’s Your Biz Your Town segment. For those of you who don’t know, 834 Design & Marketing co-hosts a radio segment called, “Your Biz Your Town,” on the fourth Friday of every month with Shelley Irwin on the WGVU Morning Radio Show. The purpose of Your Biz Your Town is to highlight individuals and businesses within West Michigan that are doing great things for the local community.
Your Biz Your Town was back in action on Friday, August 25 with two amazing interviewees: Purley and Gilda’s Club of Grand Rapids! To listen to the full segment, click here. The full segment can also be seen below, via Facebook Live.

Purely

Purely is an art destination. Purely is an open, two-sided digital marketplace that gives kids and teens a platform to share their art with the world–and earn a little money in the process. Purely is currently in the start-up phase, and is led by a mother-daughter duo, Jill Hulswit and Katherine Mullen. Children can let their creativity flow, and adults can check out the work and appreciate the refreshing honesty, creativity, and uniqueness that only kids can offer. For every product purchased, Purely artists share the revenue.
(Take a look at the shirt Jill is wearing during the segment – This was made by a Purely artist!)
For more information on Purely, visit their Facebook page and website.

Gilda’s Club of Grand Rapids

I love Gilda’s Club of Grand Rapids’ mission. I can’t say enough good things about this organization.
Gilda’s Club of Grand Rapids provides free emotional healthcare to children, adults, families, and friends on any kind of cancer journey or those grieving the death of someone in their life due to any cause. The organization will be hosting their third-annual West Side Walk for Gilda’s on Saturday, September 23 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The West Side Walk is free and open to the community, but no pets, please. The walk is 1.5 miles, and participants are encouraged to walk at their own pace. Registration begins at 11 a.m., followed by the walk beginning at noon, and a block party beginning at 1 p.m. The festivities will be held at 1806 Bridge Street in Grand Rapids. All donations will go towards the organization’s year-long programming.
For more information on the West Side Walk for Gilda’s visit their Facebook page. For more information on Gilda’s Club of Grand Rapids, visit their website.

Employers think Gen Z is lazy, entitled, and will quit the second things get hard. That perception is keeping you out of the room before you ever get a chance to prove otherwise.

The good news is, you can flip the script, but it will take some serious work and a personal brand, or as Kim Bode refers to it: Big Deal Energy™.

Kim is speaking at theProject™ Collegiate Event, hosted by the Project Management Institute Western Michigan Chapter on April 14. She`ll cover how to build a personal brand that actually sounds like you (not ChatGPT) and how you can show your value through social, content and networking.

No one talks about how lonely it is to own a business. The tough decisions land on you, the business doesn`t pause when you need a break, and nobody - not your employees or your spouse - really gets it.

If you know a business owner, tell them they`re doing a good job. It matters more than you know.

The growth stage is the hardest part of building a business.

Kim was recently quoted in @corpmagazine on what she sees running the Women`s Entrepreneurial Fellowship: women who have built something, survived the hardest part, and are still doing everything themselves. The natural tendency to be humble and attached to their work creates unique business challenges for women; they put up walls because they can`t be vulnerable.

Meanwhile, when a woman CEO needs growth capital, she compiles three years of tax returns before a bank will schedule a meeting, while her male competitor closes the same deal over drinks.

When women have access to the right resources, they grow and invest back. Full article at the link in bio.
