I like posting here because it feels like a positive place. If people engage with things here it's almost always respectful, thoughtful, and meaningful.

This group in the last year has been so integral to my positive mindset. it's so refreshing to be part of a community that cheers one another on. We all know there are good days and bad days when you're running the show. Most are somewhere in between good and bad -- they're just days. To have a community of people who know what it's like to be in the trenches, that's a superpower. I'm grateful for this space.

After leaving my job to start my own business as a Freelance Brand Strategist & Designer, I've been able to use StartupNash to build a community of professional contacts that support me and provide advice. I've also found several business leads via Startup Nash and have been hired by those leads.

Most of all I've enjoyed being part of a community and getting to know others in the group.

After years of being on the fringe of some entrepreneur groups for not being in Tech or Healthcare, I finally feel like I have a place to talk openly about daily life as an entrepreneur. It's downright delightful.

It's a small group of Nashville startups, getting $h!t done. There is some fluff but they stay radio silent. For me, this is the real Nashville startup culture.
