If you don't get hype over these, you might have to get off this train 😆

When I came to @romainmaya and @redboxctudios two years ago with a vision to put founders first and our city on display, we were singing from the same script from day one. (No seriously, ask us about our karaoke club 😂)

What started as a branding idea has become one of my favorite parts of producing @startupcincy week. And it's been nothing short of a dream to play creative directing copilot to @romainmaya's lens.

These are the faces of people in our city doin the damn thing.

Problem solvers and inventors. Artists and owners. Dreamers and doers.

All Founders. All in.

And after another week of revving them up and putting gas in the tank, it's time to get some more people on this bus.

So beep beep, Cincy. Let's ride 🤘

We know - there has been SO much going on lately! CincyStartUp Week, Blink, Cincinnati Art Week - just to name a few.

Take a break with us next Monday! Have a cup of coffee from Coffee Break, pastries and treats from Bakery Hill at Cincinnati State, and share in an industry conversation about the hiring difficulties we’re all facing right now. With perspectives from students going into the workforce, and professionals actively hiring - we look forward to a well rounded chat we can all walk away from with a greater knowledge of current staffing behaviors and expectations.

So join us in The Summit restaurant space at Midwest Culinary Institute at Cincinnati State! Monday, 10/19 10am-12pm.

Be there or be thirsty.

Last week I had the privilege of leading the Organizing Your Story lab at @startupcincy

StartupCincy is always inspiring to me. It brings the creators, the doers, the funders, and the startups into one room where we all get to learn, grow, and keep grinding with each other.
Shout out to every creator out there putting one foot in front of the other. Keep going. Happy I was able to aid in helping organizations learn how to bette organize and tell their stories.

What is one thing you are teaching outside your class subject matter?

We attended “Startup Internships Demystified” panel at @startupcincy last week. Four interns from across universities shared their experiences working for #startups and ESOs, and of course we heard from our very own @farmerschoolofbusiness John W. Altman Institute for Entrepreneurship Scholar, Alexis Keith!

One thing that I wrote down was, "Employers give you the task, and you have to go and figure it out on your own." I teach more than just my class’s subject matter. I am trying to teach my students how to navigate the real world successfully beyond school. And guess what?! Sometimes that’s harder to learn than the subject itself!!!🖤❤️ #loveandhonor #beyondready

WHAT. A. WEEK. 🍦🚀

From heading to St. Louis for Scoop School, to learning the ins and outs of making incredible ice cream, to sharing our story at StartupCincy Week AND serving up some swirls at their Ice Cream Social… it’s been a week we won’t forget.

We started Swirley’s with a simple idea: make really great ice cream, have a whole lot of fun, and bring people together along the way.

But we’ve always dreamed of something bigger.

So… WE BOUGHT A BUILDING! 🏠🍦🎉

That’s right! Swirley’s is officially putting down roots in Alexandria, KY, and we’re gearing up to open our very first brick-and-mortar ice cream shop in SPRING 2027!

And don’t worry, our mobile trailer will continue rolling… with even more fun maybe some unique offerings coming your way!

There’s a LOT of work between now and that first cone, but we couldn’t be more excited to bring this dream to life and share the journey with you!

Follow along as we turn this building into Swirley’s! From renovations and recipe testing to the finishing touches and opening day, we’re taking you along for the ride!

We can’t wait to serve you! 💙🍦

✨ Growth, Connections & New Opportunities! ✨
I had the pleasure of attending the 10th Annual Cincy Startup Week, an incredible gathering of entrepreneurs, founders, and investors, and what an amazing experience it was! 🙌🏾
From making meaningful connections to gaining valuable knowledge and fresh perspectives, I walked away feeling inspired, motivated, and even more intentional about the next steps in my journey. As an entrepreneur, I understand that growth is about more than just building a business. It’s about continuing to learn, surrounding yourself with the right people, and building relationships that create opportunities for the future.
I’m truly grateful for the connections made, the knowledge gained, and the opportunity to be in rooms that encourage growth, innovation, and collaboration. Every conversation and every connection is another step toward what’s next! 🥂✨
I’m already looking forward to next year and continuing to nurture these relationships as I grow, evolve, and flourish in my entrepreneurial journey. The vision is bigger, the goals are higher, and the work continues! 💼🔥
