Don't know if you consider Hot Springs central Arkansas but once a month we have a meeting with a mixed bag of attendees.

My current side-side hustle, Global Artisans, employs local refugees to make bags out of recycled vinyl banners.The BP podcast has already been a trove of knowledge and motivation, but I'm glad to finally raise my hand in here and pay forward the advice and support the BP veterans so willingly give.
