This monthly LaunchPad event series brings you opportunities to expand your networks and grow your business.
Mix & mingle with fellow movers, shakers, entrepreneurs, business owners, creatives, founders, freelancers, engineers, researchers. Build networks in & out of your industry. Learn what and connect with who you need to launch your: startup, business, product, idea, collaborative, nonprofit.
Working from home, but need to get out for a day? Back in the office, but not excited about it? Hang out and work in the Hub for free instead! Grab a table on your own, or share a table with someone new. Pop into a private cubby to take a call. Avail yourself of the amenities The Hub has to offer, and when you need a break, pop into the kitchen and chat with fellow coworkers to see what they’re creating alongside you.
We open the keg and put out some light eats in the Hub’s kitchen starting around 5 p.m. or so. Don’t worry, we also have wine and non-alcoholic beverages for your imbibing pleasure.
Attend workshops curated to help you move your endeavor forward. Don’t just watch a presentation, actually do some work, & leave with a tangible take-away you can implement tomorrow.

6:30-7:30 P.M. Create a Winning Podcast Strategy
Main Street Classroom
Podcasting for business is more than just having a conversation and being seen. It’s about providing information that can transform lives and help others build trust with your brand. Many business owners, authors, and professionals start podcasting asking about the “how” when really, the most important question is “why.”
Before you hit the record button, you need a plan. While there are over a million podcasts available for download, most of them are not actively producing episodes because of a lack of strategy.
