Sponsorship Opportunities
Crusaders/Caersunet Golf outing is offering sponsorship packages at every price level now while they are still available and the best pricing for a day of golf, professional development, and intentional business networking at Northville Hills Golf Club on Monday, Oct 7th 2024. This is an event for golfers and non-golfers alike. I go every year and I am not a golfer.

This Week—A Chance to Be Featured on a Podcast.
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
This Week—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.
