Inspiring Entrepreneurs Episode 3: Celebrating Small Business Development Center Day

Inspiring Entrepreneurs: The Podcast

This special episode of "Inspiring Entrepreneurs: The Live Show & Podcast," celebrates SBDC Day – a time to recognize the work and impact of Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs) across the country.

Listen to Vermont’s SBDC colleagues Sara Munro, Community Navigator Pilot Program Coordinator and Phyllis Ershowsky, Marketing and Communications Specialist, talk about the annual celebration that recognizes the contributions of SBDCs to small business success. This year’s theme, "Nurturing Dreams and Growing Futures," emphasizes the role of SBDCs in fostering entrepreneurship and economic growth.

Learn about the various ways VtSBDC supports small businesses, including offering one-on-one, no-fee confidential advising at any business stage—whether starting, growing, thriving, or transitioning. On SBDC Day, VtSBDC advisors visit clients, share success stories, and celebrate through social media engagement. You can see these stories by following and interacting with VtSBDC posts on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram, using hashtags #SBDCday and #VtSBDCday.
