Guests and a Gateway

Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than smart. Luck swung my way when Kristen Cooper, Founder and CEO of the Startup Ladies (https://www.thestartupladies.org/), asked me to submit a guest blog for that organization’s web site.  The timing coincided with her speaking engagement at the Madison County Chamber (https://www.getlinkedmadison.com/) and the letter “G” coming up in alphabetical rotation here.

Since Purdue University is a Support Services member in the Startup Ladies, I wanted to share with the membership of that organization some of the people and programs at Purdue—and beyond—that they should know about. Specific to my role, I wanted them (and now you) to understand my role as a gateway to connect with these people and programs.

Rather than completely repeat everything in that guest blog from the Startup Ladies web site, let me provide a link to it so you can look at it there. Below the link to my guest blog post from late last week is a list of the main subheads so that you know what kinds of topics are presented in greater detail via link through.  I also recommend a read of the other blogs, from both company owners and other subject matter experts, that appear there.  Well worth your time to read about the experiences of these entrepreneurs as well as the advice from those tapped to support them in their journey!

Thanks for reading. I look forward to connecting either in person or virtually—maybe both!  Watch for “H for Homecoming” as I will be featuring not one, but three of them!  Those of you who know me, see if you can guess.
