About the event
You've followed the advice. You've put in the work. And somehow, hiring still feels impossible, growth still feels out of reach, and you still can't figure out why it's this hard.
Here's the thing: it might not be you.
This month's guest is Nikki Porcher, a veteran, educator, and small business advocate who has spent her career figuring out exactly why the systems around work aren't working, and what we can do about it. She leads a national nonprofit that has supported hundreds of small businesses across the country, and she's currently running for Georgia Labor Commissioner on a platform built around making sure small business owners actually have the support, resources, and workforce access they need to grow.
In this session, Nikki will break down the real challenges small business owners face when it comes to hiring, retention, and growth, and why so many of those challenges are rooted in larger workforce systems that weren't built with us in mind. You'll walk away with a clearer picture of what's actually happening, why it feels so hard, and what can realistically move the needle going forward.
This is the kind of conversation that makes you feel less crazy and more equipped. Come ready to listen, ask questions, and maybe rethink a few things.
What you'll take away:
The real story behind why hiring and retention are so hard right now
A better understanding of how workforce systems affect your business
Practical perspective on what's actually working for small business owners
