Thank you to everyone who joined us for this afternoon’s Power Hour! We had a wonderful time learning from our Energize presenters about their journeys with entrepreneurship; Tara Knipp from First Look Bridal Boutique & Tuxedo, Maddison Whittaker from MaddMarketing Solutions, and MacKenzie Steinbauer from REMAX.

Tara, MacKenzie, and Maddison shared their journeys, the wins, the pivots, the challenges, and the lessons that shaped our businesses.

And the best part? Watching a room full of young professionals realize that entrepreneurship is possible for them too.

If you left feeling inspired, motivated, or ready to take your next step, that’s exactly why we do this.

Can’t wait to see you all at the next event! Check out our page to see where you can make more connections.

What a great Friday morning at Legacy Coffee House! ☕️

Since May is Mental Health Awareness Month, our Coffee Social was all about bringing a little extra joy to everyone’s morning. 🫶 Each coffee came with a fun little motivational note to help our YPN members start the day feeling encouraged and inspired!

We also loved seeing everyone add to our “what fills your cup” board. From giving back to the community, to quality time with friends and family, to lifting each other up, it was such a sweet reminder of what matters most and what keeps us all going. 🥰

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and a big thank you to Wildfire Credit Union for sponsoring this month's Coffee Social.
