Join us for Small Business Talks - our inspiring and practical event series exclusively for the TN card business community. It's a chance to connect with fellow local business owners, exchange ideas, and gain valuable insights from experts in our professional services directory. Each quarter, we bring you four short, focused talks covering essential topics like marketing, sales strategy, financial planning and business growth – all tailored to the needs of small, independent businesses.

Winter talks:

1. Midlife, Money & Momentum: Unlocking Profit & Purpose, with Tracey Louise, MenoMoney. In this transformative talk, Tracey Louise, founder of MenoMoney and a passionate advocate for female entrepreneurs over 40, explores how midlife challenges can quietly sabotage business success, and how to turn them into powerful levers for growth. From brain fog and burnout to financial anxiety and decision fatigue, Tracey unpacks the emotional undercurrents that influence how we earn, spend, and lead. Discover practical mindset shifts and money strategies that help you rebuild confidence, boost productivity, and align your business with your deeper purpose. This session is a must for purpose-led founders ready to reframe their relationship with money, reclaim their energy, and unlock sustainable wealth on their own terms.

2. Smarter Outsourcing: Freeing Your Time to Grow. With Hazel Hall, Get Ahead VA. Running a business means wearing many hats, but you don’t have to do it all yourself. Hazel from Get Ahead shows how outsourcing can lighten the load, giving you back valuable time and headspace to focus on what really matters. From admin and social media to specialist support, Hazel shares the benefits of outsourcing for productivity, flexibility and peace of mind. Discover how the right support can help you work smarter, not harder, and keep your business moving forward.

From Fire to Flourish: The Allkin Journey. With Chris Drummond, Allkin. When Good Things Brewing Co was devastated by fire, founder Chris Drummond faced the challenge of starting over. From that experience came Allkin, a business built on creativity, community and a fresh perspective. In this talk, Chris shares the Allkin story so far, what he’s learned along the way, and his exciting plans for 2026 - including how we can all be part of what’s next.
