Time for another Friendpreneur Forum! This monthly in-person informative and inspirational networking event features business subject-matter expert knowledge sharing, an inspirational interview with a visionary about their WHY, energizing speed networking, and refreshments with and by local small business owners. 

Here's what you can expect:

  • Inspiration: Friendpreneurship Founder | CEO | Visionary Tiffany Bargeman, a skilled and insightful conversationalist, will prompt our featured Friendpreneur Colleague, Brand Builder Micheal Shaw, Owner of Micheal Shaw Inc. Brand Solutions, with creative questions to help him tell his unique story in a captivating way. "People don't buy what you do. They buy WHY you do it." (Simon Sinek).

  • Learning: Shaw, with more than 25 years experience in the branding space, will school us on why having a strong personal brand and online presence is more important than ever. He'll be your professional headshot photographer for the evening, capturing "the essence of who you are and what you stand for in a high-energy environment with a social essence."

  • Speed Networking: Finally, we'll move into several rounds of speed networking! While you wait for your turn to take pictures, sip your signature Friendpreneurship drink, make meaningful connections, and relax with great music. Come with questions and business needs and leave with answers and action items!

Ticket price includes general admission, one signature Friendpreneur drink, and a professional headshot photo session. (Refunds can be requested within 7 days of the event in exchange for equal credit towards the purchase of a future Friendpreneurship event held within 1 year.)

More about Micheal Shaw's Headshot Happy Hour

It's a fact that many people "Google" you for a first impression before dealing with you, personally or professionally. Your Headshot Happy Hour experience will result in an amazing full-resolution digital image with retouching, a brand fingerprint that will draw people to your essence.

Headshot Happy Hour sessions are also an opportunity to give back to the community. For every session booked, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Team Jenny Bean Childhood Cancer Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that supports children diagnosed with pediatric cancer and their families.

Take advantage of this unique and fun opportunity to engage in speed networking visionaries who might just have the knowledge, inspiration, products, or services you need to take your business to the next level.
