Running 8THIRTYFOUR on EOS has allowed our team to find consistency in what we do and given us a framework to hold each other accountable.
It`s why @bodespeaks highlighted it in her latest @fastcompany contribution.

We put everything business owners, employees, and educators told us on the wall, and guess what... yeah, some of it was mean.
The point is, everyone is saying it about each other, not to each other, and nothing is getting fixed that way.
Thanks to everyone who showed up to have the Uncomfortable Conversation on the skills crisis, and whether you were there or not, let us know what the next one should be.

Defense and manufacturing run on precision, protocols, and deadlines. When a team miscommunicates... things slip, and the cost adds up.
Kim will be at the Michigan Defense Expo in Detroit on May 13 to talk about the Hard Cost of Soft Skills (or as we call them, survival skills) and what we can all do about it.

@bodespeaks will be talking to @sheleadssocietymi on May 21 about Big Deal Energy™ and what it means to own what makes you - you.

The @smallbusinessassocofmichigan`s Women`s Entrepreneurial Fellowship met last week in our new space, and it was incredible to have this group of badass women back together under one roof.
Our focus this time around was planning for the future, whether that`s selling your business, handing it down, or just starting the conversation about it. We heard from the one and only Mindy Earley, who walked the cohort through the many different things to consider when succession planning; and Monica Gauthier joined us to talk about her journey selling her business - @groovydonuts.
The biggest takeaway... we really need to get this group together more often.
Applications are open for the next cohort. Apply at the link in bio.
Knowledge
We got ebooks, upon ebooks, upon ebooks, upon worksheets. Download the knowledge; learn from us, young padawan.
Work
We’ve been around for 20 or so years, and in that time, we’ve done a whole lot. We’ve launched over 25,000 lanterns during ArtPrize, outgrew six offices, and received about a million different awards.
We're Kind of a Big Deal
Happy Hour Hustle
It’s happy hour with a purpose. We pour drinks and tackle the hard subjects without a filter. We dive into small business issues, Kim’s ever-growing dog pack, the dumpster fire state of the world, social issues, and why women get sh*t done.
We bring the real talk with a twist, a lime, and a shot of tequila.
