Welcome to Small Business Connect – a community built on resilience, collaboration, and opportunity. My journey has taken me through the worlds of professional sports, film and television, and business. I’ve experienced the highs of success and the humbling lessons of failure. Every step forward, especially in the tough times, has been made possible by incredible mentors, unwavering support, and a community that had my back. I’m not a business coach—but what I do excel at is bringing people together. My passion lies in creating opportunities and helping others thrive by connecting them with the right people and resources. Since COVID, far too many small businesses have struggled or closed their doors. The mission of Small Business Connect is simple but powerful: to help reduce the number of small business failures by fostering real connections and practical support. Whether you’re starting out, thinking about launching a business, or have years of experience under your belt, this is a safe and welcoming space. We learn together. We grow together. We succeed—together.
