Are you ready to Launch, Grow, and Thrive?

Is this really all there is?
As part of our Encore Entrepreneurship initiative, The Wheelhouse is offering a weekly, conversation-centered series exploring how purpose, identity, and possibility evolve across every stage of life.
Led by Kirsten Farris, this thoughtful gathering is for those sensing a quiet nudge toward something more, whether that’s a new business idea, a portfolio career, or a more intentional next chapter.

This series is designed for business owners, managers, and leaders who recognize that caring for themselves is not a luxury, it’s a responsibility. Clear thinking, steady leadership, resilience, and purpose don’t happen by accident. They require intention.
Each first Monday of the month, we’ll gather from 10:00 - 11:00 AM for a guided conversation focused on tending to the human side of leadership - the mindset, habits, and inner alignment that make it possible to lead well over the long haul.

Are you building a side business, growing a passion project, or exploring network marketing alongside your main gig?
We’re gathering on the second Tuesday of each month for a facilitated, conversation-based evening designed to connect like-minded people who want to swap ideas, talk strategy, and encourage one another - without pitching, recruiting, or pressure.

Some people come with a challenge they’re working through, others bring an idea they’re exploring, and many simply come to listen and learn from the conversation.
Whether you’re building a business, thinking about starting one, supporting entrepreneurs, or just curious about what’s happening in our local ecosystem, there’s always a seat at the table.
Coffee is on us.
Conversation is even better.
I’ve Got an Idea… Now What?
Saturday, April 18
10 am - 12 noon
Have an idea you keep coming back to — but you’re not sure what to do with it? A two-hour Discovery workshop designed for people at the very early stages of considering a business, side venture, or entrepreneurial project.
Hosted by The Wheelhouse, this Saturday morning session introduces entrepreneurial thinking — how entrepreneurs look at ideas, identify real problems, and decide what (if anything) to pursue next.
