It’s simply a chance for presenting entrepreneurs to tap into the knowledge and experience of the local community in a focused and encouraging environment. The Abilene 1 Million Cups community meets the fourth Wednesday of each month at McMurry University Center for Free Enterprise and Entrepreneurship\, located in the Walter F. and Virginia Johnson School of Business. \nDuring each event\, entrepreneurs have just 20 minutes to present their company or business idea (from newly formed up to 5 years old) to a room full of community members; followed by the next 30 minutes where the audience will ask questions\, provide helpful feedback\, and share similar experiences or support. Every 1 Million Cups event concludes with a question posed to the entrepreneur: “What can we as a community do to help you?” This cultivates the intention that 1 Million Cups chapters are created by the community for the community.

He has two major professional objectives: First\, to redevelop abandoned and underutilized spaces into create vibrant\, inclusive\, democratic communities grounded in creative expression and connection to the land\, that uphold principles of human dignity and mutual respect\, and espouse an ethic of collective entrepreneurial action. He aims to make “affordable housing” more synonymous with encouraging a healthy community and creative life through this strategy. Second\, to create alternative education and professional development opportunities that are affordable and accessible\, that provide new and current generations of community leaders with cutting-edge tools for confident and competent community and regional leadership in rapidly changing times.

In his spare time\, he is a multi-instrumentalist\, and has been a studio\, live\, and touring musician with dozens of performance groups since his early teens. Music serves as a primary inspiration for how he thinks about the world\, which includes solving wicked problems like an artist\, and how even perfect strangers can play very well together under the right conditions and with common understanding. \n\nCLICK ON ZOOM ICON ABOVE\nMeeting ID 613-748-590\nMeeting Password 018158 URL:https://venturecall.com/event/abilene-startup-connections-featured-entrepreneur/ LOCATION:ONLINE ORGANIZER;CN="Venture%20Call%2C%20LLC.":MAILTO:mike@venturecall.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20200504T121500 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20200504T130000 DTSTAMP:20260410T065739 CREATED:20200413T222128Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200428T195226Z UID:2508-1588594500-1588597200@venturecall.com SUMMARY:THE BUSINESS CLINIC - PART 2 DESCRIPTION:PANEL DISCUSSION TOPIC: Employee Acquisition\, Retention & Engagement\nTRANSFORMED CONTENT DELIVERY is being offered ONLINE at NO COST in lieu of our inability to gather for the previously scheduled live seminar in April due to the economic disruption due to the personal health pandemic.  Long before the arrival of the Covid-19 scare and the subsequent shut-down of many small businesses\, our theme for this workshop/seminar was BOOSTING BUSINESS HEALTH: BE HOSPITABLE.  Our goal with this clinic has always been to assist businesses (especially small\, early-stage and start-ups) to apply practices that will ensure the health of their business.  During recent months so much of the health focus has been on the individual person.  This presentation and discussion embraces the necessity of business owners/managers to focus on the health of their business.  Join us for the discussion.  Details for connectivity are below. \n \nAbilene Startup Community is still meeting “for lunch” every Monday.
