This week on "Get 'N' Your Business!" we had an inspiring and insightful conversation with Ande Noktes, the Executive Director at the Art & Lindee Lucas Center for Entrepreneurship. The focus was the Small Business Idea Bootcamp, an initiative that is lighting up the entrepreneurial scene both within the college and the local community.

What is the Small Business Idea Bootcamp?

The Small Business Idea Bootcamp is not just an event; it's a breeding ground for innovative ideas and aspiring entrepreneurs. This full-day workshop is an open invitation to anyone with a business idea—students, local business enthusiasts, or anyone with a dream and determination.

The Essence of the Workshop

The Bootcamp stands out for several reasons:

• Free and Full-day: It's rare to find such an extensive workshop offered without a cost, and the Art & Lindee Lucas Center for Entrepreneurship has made this possible.

• Inclusive of Meals: Understanding the intensity of a full-day workshop, meals are included, ensuring participants can focus entirely on honing their business skills.

• Networking Opportunities: It's not just about learning; it's about connecting. The Bootcamp offers a unique opportunity to mingle with like-minded entrepreneurs, mentors, and partners from our local community.
