Celebrating Growth and Connection at June’s BEN Workshop

This month’s Business Education Network (BEN) Workshop, held on June 20th at the beautifully welcoming Black Leaf Cigar & Wine Lounge, was a celebration of growth, purpose, and people. On Juneteenth, a day dedicated to reflection, liberation, and community, our workshop brought together entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and changemakers to learn, connect, and uplift one another.

We want to give a big thank you to our phenomenal speakers:

  • Emilee Tucker, Authentic Leadership Consulting, who helped us reflect on emotional authenticity and gave us the R.O.I. Formula to enjoy life and business more deeply.

  • Zachary Gottlieb from Tampa Bay Pay, who pulled back the curtain on hidden payment processing fees and showed us how to take control.

  • Dayna Himot of Gofer Content, who helped us clarify our messaging before plugging into AI tools—making sure we stay human and effective.

  • Gary King, founder of The Happiness Experiment, who brought heart and purpose to our day with his powerful personal story and mission to inspire hope.

A huge thank you to our hosts at Black Leaf for creating a warm, inclusive, and stylish environment for our community to come together.

The BEN Workshop continues to be a space where business and purpose meet. We create this experience monthly, free to our community, because we believe that when small businesses grow stronger, so does our entire region.

🚨 Registration is NOW OPEN for our July BEN Workshop! Join us again for another inspiring afternoon of learning, networking, and action.
