Small business owners and entrepreneurs across the country have faced radical, and all-too-often, insurmountable challenges to their survival over the past several months—and they likely will continue to for the foreseeable future. We’ve all heard the word “pivot” too many times to count, but who is doing it sustainably, and what can we learn from them?

Join us for this week’s edition of our Changemaker series—where you get the chance to have courageous conversations with other session participants from around the country. Our speakers will define the landscape, then offer questions and topics designed to guide you to new insights and action steps with your peers.
