Listen "Networking & Mentorship"
Episode Synopsis
Too many entrepreneurs try to build their businesses in isolation — and it shows. In Episode 5 of the Strength & Strategy Series, we explore how the lack of networking, mentorship, and community support can slow down growth and limit opportunity.This episode breaks down the importance of tapping into the right ecosystems: Black chambers, cooperatives, incubators, peer networks, and community-driven business circles that exist to help entrepreneurs win.Host Tracey is joined by Octavia “Tav” Treadway of Something Great and Tommy McNeal of McNeal Management, who share practical ways they help business owners access mentorship, community, and the kind of support that turns struggle into strategy.If you’ve ever felt like you’re building your business alone — this episode gives you the roadmap to stop surviving and start connecting.🕘 New episodes every Monday at 9 AM🎯 Subscribe to the full 8-part Strength & Strategy SeriesExecutive Producer/ CEO PublisherTracey Williams-Dillard MSR Digital StudioRay SevilleMinnesota Spokesman-Recorder3744 4th Avenue SouthMinneapolis MN 55409612-827-4021
