It was a great 1MC presentation this morning! Thank you Jen and Sonia for sharing your stories and newest collaboration to downtown GP. I truly missed being there, but huge shout out to Trever for the live stream on the Hivve.com website! Truly honored to be a part of the community we are building.

The whole is more than the sum of its parts.

This week at 1 Million Cups Rogue Valley was Jen and her team at Gather At The Green Room.

Never heard of it? Gather is The White Owl Boutique + Blooming Beautys Family Nursery & Boutique, all under one roof.

They opened May 1 and are also working on bringing a men’s wear brand to life called Iron & Ash. Iron & Ash means strength and transformation.

Finally..... men’s wear in Grants Pass!

They’re taking feedback from men too, so follow them, reach out, or just go down there and tell them what you’d actually like to see. They’ll listen.

There was kind of a theme to the whole thing too.

Have good people around you....... have a good attitude, and the right people tend to find you.

They’ll also be doing creative classes for all ages, which gives people another reason to get out and experience some community together.

And The Lonely Pine has expanded into the space too and created a whole new vibe.

Plants, flowers, cool stuff, coffee, food, classes and good company.

Pretty solid new place to gather in Grants Pass.
Go check them out.

☕️ 1 MILLION CUPS ROGUE VALLEY IS BACK! ☕️
Wednesday, August 12 | 9:30 AM | The Hivve

We’re excited to welcome Carrie Boltz with The Loft Above as this week’s presenter! 🎉

🏢 The Loft Above is exploring the evolution of a downtown creative workspace designed for small businesses, creatives, and professionals who want a beautiful, flexible place to work without the commitment of a traditional office.

Originally created as a photography studio, The Loft Above is exploring how the space can grow into something even more versatile—with possibilities including:

✨ Flexible office rentals
📸 Photography & content creation
🤝 Shared creative workspace
💻 Monthly-use space
💡 Meetings & collaborative work

With three unique rooms—including two bright, naturally lit spaces and one dark room—The Loft Above has the potential to serve a variety of professionals and creative businesses in our community.

Now Carrie is looking for your feedback! What does our local business community actually need? What would make a flexible creative workspace valuable to you?

Come grab a cup of coffee, hear Carrie’s story, and help shape the conversation. ☕️

🏆 WE HAVE SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE! ☕️

We are incredibly proud and humbled to share that 1 Million Cups Rogue Valley has been recognized with TWO national awards from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation! 🎉

🏆 Rising Star Award
🏆 Community Engagement Award

These awards mean so much because they represent something bigger than a title or recognition. They represent YOU, the entrepreneurs who step onto the stage and share your ideas, your challenges, your wins, and your stories.

They represent the volunteers who show up week after week.
They represent the community members who grab a cup of coffee and cheer on local founders.
They represent the partners and organizations who believe that entrepreneurship matters.
And they represent the incredible entrepreneurial spirit of Josephine and Jackson Counties. ❤️

Since its beginning, 1 Million Cups has been about creating a space where entrepreneurs can connect, learn, encourage one another, and know they aren’t building alone.

We are so grateful to The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation for creating 1 Million Cups and investing in entrepreneurs and communities across the country.

A huge THANK YOU to our incredible entrepreneurs, volunteers, community supporters, Kim Freeze, Trever Yarrish and The Hivve who continues to make Wednesday mornings so special.

These awards belong to all of us. 🏆☕️

Because entrepreneurship isn’t just about building businesses.

It’s about building people who believe they can.
