Format: Honest, focused discussions about the real impacts we're experiencing and practical strategies for protecting ourselves and our businesses. No sugarcoating—we're scared too—just straightforward conversations about adapting and surviving in a dramatically changed public health environment.

​

What to expect: This isn't a traditional learning series—it's a peer-to-peer exchange within a community of entrepreneurs and consultants. Your experience, whether you're just starting out or have been consulting for years, is a valuable resource for others on similar journeys. We don't have all the answers, but together, we can build our capacity to meet the moment and thrive in the future.

​

• Your first steps: from idea to first client

• Should I be an LLC or S-corp, and does it even matter right now?

• With more consultants = more competition, what should I do?

• How do I know when it’s the right time to go “all-in?”

• How do I respond when clients say their budgets have been slashed?

• How do I pivot my services?

• Where are the new client opportunities when traditional funding sources are drying up?

• How do I structure contracts so I don't get burned?

• How do I make my money last when projects are fewer and smaller?

• With more consultants = more competition, what should I do?

 

Our philosophy: We believe that entrepreneurial spirit in public health is both necessary and powerful—and that collaboration is a survival and growth strategy, not a luxury. By sharing our stories of how we got started and how we're adapting to current challenges, we can inspire and support each other to build resilient, impactful businesses that serve our communities.​​
