Description

This week's presenter: You Academy This week's presenter: You AcademyNext Level Entrepreneurship for Women in Business owners. The You Academy was created specifically with women in mind. How? Because we're talking about the things every other business focused venture school, institute and academy are not. A few unique things you'll find in the You Academy - menstrual cycles, core coping mechanisms & self promotion. Yes, we also cover other important basics like cash flow, taxes and marketing, but we know that as women, historically, we're told that we're too emotional - really we're cyclical and it's time to make that work to our advantage - and we feel like imposters more often than our male counterparts - because our subconscious is sabotaging us - and we're less likely to self promote because we're taught to do for others and be humble. About 1 Million Cups Cedar Rapids1 Million Cups Cedar Rapids is a free, weekly program that happens nationwide designed to educate, engage, and connect entrepreneurs. Developed by the Kauffman Foundation, 1MC is based on the notion that entrepreneurs discover solutions and network over a million cups of coffee. Early-stage businesses and established companies facing interesting challenges are welcome to present their companies to a panel of experts for advice, and engage the audience in a question-and-answer session to encourage collaborative and honest conversations. We also feature expert speakers, founder fireside interviews, and exploration of business failures and the shared learning that comes from those failures. 1 Million Cups Cedar Rapids is led by a group of passionate volunteers: Jourdan McChesney (NewBoCo)Eric Engelmann (Iowa Startup Accelerator)Laura Gansemer (Office Evolution)Rina Jensen (Rina Jensen.com)Julie Lammers (America's SBDC)Emily Bettridge (Groundswell Cafe)Maurice Davis (Empower by GoDaddy)Jessica Abdoney (NewBoCo)Amy Eaton (Keller Williams Legacy Group)Sponsors1MCCR is sponsored by local companies and organizations that support our entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystem:
