Carissa Broadbent is pursuing her fantasy on the South Coast 34:16

2y ago34:16

34:16

Armed with noise canceling headphones and many ounces of coffee, Carissa Broadbent invests more time at local coffee shops than I do. Every day I was at Pink Bean in Somerset, so was Carissa...punching away at her laptop's keyboard. A tall coffee and a tall stack of papers, I thought she was a screenwriter. I wasn't too far off. When Carissa told m…

There's a new trend of community based businesses starting on the South Coast and I'm here for it.

Donna Criscuolo on reshaping Leadership Southcoast 28:12

2+ y ago28:12

28:12

The last two years of humanity has thrust the value of strong leadership into the spotlight. It’s easy to play armchair quarterback. On national level issues, and I’m guilty of it myself, we all become experts on a particular topic derived from our own opinions or self-belief. On a local level? Well…have fun fighting that Facebook post argument. Th…

Kevin Rose on growing as a South Coast entrepreneur 28:04

2+ y ago28:04

28:04

What a difference 3 years and a global pandemic makes. Graduating from eForall some 4 years ago with a new product idea that few individuals would find success in, let alone on the South Coast, Kevin Rose is rapidly cementing a legacy. Running a business wasn't foreign to him. What would be the challenge? Running a trucking company when the world s…

3y ago32:08

32:08

One of the greatest opportunities we have as business owners on the South Coast is to co-promote, brand, and create content.

Discover Southcoast Spring Arts 35:08

3+ y ago35:08

35:08

The Arts… Art-going…heck, an art gallery…wasn't something that was ever on my radar growing up, even with an artist as a neighbor. Referring to myself as an artist…for doing a podcast? Not a chance. However, you put me on a busy street corner with a lemondade stand, and I'll turn it into a franchise. So maybe artists feel like they aren't business …

As you’ll learn today, it’s not like the South Coast is new to budding businesses and market makers. You’re looking at a region that was once home to the world’s textile manufacturing industry along s…

The global pandemic has had a major impact on many small businesses within the shallow pokckets of communities around the country.
