RELATIONSHIPS Move Businesses Forward 🙌🏽

At BOC26, Cory Mosley, CSP sat down with Amoura Carter, CEO and Co-Founder of Amoura & Avery | Social Media | Branding| Program Management , to talk about entrepreneurship, building sustainable businesses, and why the human element still matters.

As a first-time BOC attendee and participant in the Sonoco Leadership Academy, Amoura came ready to learn, make meaningful connections, and meet people who genuinely want to help businesses grow.

One of her biggest takeaways?
The right relationships go beyond profitability. They can open doors, provide advice, share valuable insights, and help create the foundation for long-term success.

She also shared an important perspective on AI and marketing: embrace the technology, but don’t let it replace the creativity, ideas, and personal connections that make your business uniquely yours 💎

That same human connection is what made being in the room at BOC26 so valuable!

From Connections to Ex*****on ✅

Day 3 was filled with workshops, practical conversations, and real strategies designed to help you grow, compete, and position themselves for what’s next. It was a reminder that relationships open doors—but preparation is what helps you walk through them 👀.

Throughout the day, we had the privilege of sitting down with four incredible leaders for new episodes of The Everyday Entrepreneur with Coach T - Veteran 🇺🇸| Speaker | Business Coach | Amplifier

Each conversation was more than an interview—it was an opportunity to amplify their business, share their story, and provide on-demand coaching that they’ll be able to revisit long after the conference ends.

That’s the kind of impact we LOVE being a part of!

If you MISSED BOC26 this year, don’t worry! 👇🏽

We will be in RICHMOND, Virginia! Plan to join us!

Great businesses aren't built alone!

They're built within a community and strengthened by guidance, mentorship, and a willingness to keep learning.

In a conversation with Cory Mosley, Rick Anicetti — certified mentor and coach with SCORE, and this year's BOC26 Luncheon Keynote Speaker — opened up about an organization he didn't even know existed before getting involved: SCORE, the LARGEST mentoring organization in the world. 🌍

And here's the best part? Mentoring is completely FREE to the public.
Rick broke down exactly how SCORE shows up for small businesses:

✓ Helping individuals step into the business community
✓ Guiding business owners on how to scale what they've already built

His advice? Surround yourself with experienced leaders, learn from others, and never stop investing in your growth. 🔥
Don't miss Rick's keynote at BOC26 and discover how mentorship and meaningful connections can take your business to the next level!
