Events for this week:
Apply For the Opportunity to Present at an Upcoming 1 Million Cup Business Networking and Development Meeting
If you are interested in presenting, we ask that you come to one of our meetings first prior to presenting Wednesday mornings at 8:30 a.m. (See details in events section below). If you've been in business longer than 5 years, or if you aren't an entrepreneur, you can volunteer to be a Coffee Sponsor for an upcoming meeting.
It's not a sales pitch, and it's not an investor pitch. The goal is to have people understand what you do and some of the challenges you have had in building your business.
Companies that are less than than five years old and open to community engagement can apply to present at 1MC. All industries welcome.

Origin Stories with Trae Bohlen
I'm looking for podcasts guests to discuss their origins, pivots, redirection and resurrections. As entrepreneurs, we all have a story and that's what I love to tell!
Listen here here:https://youtube.com/@traebohlen
Schedule a call so we can connect about your Origin story! https://calendly.com/photographybytrae/30min
A Chance to Be Featured on Another Podcast.
Cory Dunham, from BDBMarketing and the West Washtenaw Business Association, is in the process of co-creating a new “Sales and Marketing” podcast with Jake Stahl (a Fractional Chief Learning Officer and Sales Coach). They are looking for business owners that have challenges with either marketing or sales and are willing to share with us for our “podcast content,” and are possibly willing to be featured on one of our upcoming episodes. If you are interested in finding out more or know of someone who may, please contact [email protected] or (734) 412-1539.
