It has been really cool to see each Brand Market workshop unfold into it’s own unique experience. Each group is different from the next, and they have all been wonderful. Raleigh is a beautiful city bursting at the seems with creative entrepreneurs. We got to have the event at the new HQ Raleigh in the warehouse district. It was in incredible space with cool rooms in every corner and big open space for us to stretch our legs. It was such an invigorating experience talking to this crew and co-hosting alongside Mike and Megan Gilger of The Fresh Exchange. We finally got to meet after a few years of online friendship! They had so much wisdom and helpful tips to share. Here is a re-cap in photos:
