Fall Color Palettes

We can’t contain ourselves anymore. We LOVE fall, including the scarves, cozy sweaters, falling leaves, crisp autumn air, spiked apple cider and plaid…all the plaid.
We’ll even drive by an apple orchard once in a while and wave to the people standing in line for hours to grab those doughnuts.
Our most favorite part of fall is all the colors. There’s a reason we live in a state with four seasons…because they are damn magical.
Here are our fall color palettes.

#1 Fall Hike

We mean, look at that doggo’s face! He loves fall, too! Fall Hike captures all the lovely colors we Michiganders see traversing the many countless park trails. Is there anything better than leaves crunching beneath your feet while you inhale the smell of wet foliage? We highly encourage you to also incorporate all of these colors into your wardrobe. We think you know what we’ll be doing.

#2 Friday Night Lights

Is there anything better than tailgating (with a mask) before a Friday football game? There is just something magical about setting up in a parking lot with your tailgate down, flipping burgers on the grill, sipping Truly in your camping chairs, and surrounding yourself with the shouts of slightly buzzed people over an overly competitive cornhole game.
Us midwesterners take football very seriously. So, pack up your cooler, plaid blanket, and stocking cap, cozy up in the stands, and appreciate this amazing color palette encompassing all things Friday Night Lights.

#3 Halloween Party


If you don’t have at least 104 fall scented candles burning at once, what are you even doing with your life? Halloween may be canceled this year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t pull together a costume, set up a Zoom call with friends, string some twinkle lights and throw in a black light to capture that perfect ghoulish purple glow.
We’re officially declaring Halloween 2020 the day we all watch spooky movies and make ourselves sick on candy we can’t hand out. We’ll be hosting a Halloween Party of one. Don’t miss the bold, bright and fun colors of this color palette due to a lack of creativity.
P.S. If you haven’t watched Hocus Pocus at least 15 times over the course of Halloween, you really don’t know how to celebrate anyhow.
This year’s palettes are a little different than in the past, and that’s because this is a crazy year. Let us know what you think about our pics! We can even set up a fall-themed Zoom call to talk about them.

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.
