“Coach Blake Fleegle has been my rock while I started my business Bougie Hair Care. I didn’t know what I was doing when I started, and he was there for any questions that I had.”

— Sylvia Carr, Bougie Hair Care

“Coach Christa McGeary reviewed my proposal and plans. She helped us navigate all the aspects of getting started. She guided me from the very beginning …. And was there when we cut the ribbon … and is still there for me now, three years later.”

— Karley Miller, Rebelz Mobile Cuisine
