The Sword and the Script Monthly Newsletter 

The Atlanta based PR agency goes above and beyond other regular PR newsletters. The Sword and the Script monthly newsletter breaks down the top PR, marketing, and social media news so you don’t have to go through the boring content. Let’s be real, no one has time for that so they just email all of the top content directly to you.  Even better, you only get one email a week with links to the best articles and blogs. Although the Sword and the Script Monthly newsletter has a larger focus on technology, it is still a great topic to read up on since technology rules the world these days. 

The Daily Skimm 

Daily Skimm is a fast way to get updated on all the things, from national headlines, politics to industry specific news. It provides small blurbs on all the news of the day to keep you up to date. The Daily Skimm skips all the unnecessary story headlines and gets to the real juicy content. Filling you in on hot topics and pressing news (with a bit of sass, which you know we love) keeps you intrigued and informed.

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.

"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.
