Patrice Register is my favorite kind of person: one whose life is all about moving forward on every front, no matter the external obstacles, while being a force for positive growth along the way. Growing up Black in Georgia is one part of Patrice’s story. Another part is her big-hearted family. And, are you ready for this? Patrice was a police officer in Georgia. A Black. Woman. Police officer. This woman is sooo solid. And NOT to be put into a ‘box’ of simple and predictable labels. After serving as a police officer, Patrice went on to earn an Executive MBA from Colorado State Tech University. She uses that education in a wide variety of ways: •as a business coach, •as a member of community organizations, •as a mentor to start-up companies, as an *advocate for women and girls, and as a *life-skills teacher for ‘at-risk students… and there’s more, which you’ll learn about in our conversation. I’m not the only one who appreciates and respects Patrice. She was nominated for the 2012 Small Business Influencer Award and recognized as 2014’s 50 Most Influential Women in Arizona Business. In 2016 she was a nominee for Arizona State University’s Spirit of Enterprise Award. Also in 2016 she was a nominee for BBB Torch Award for Ethics. Bottom line, Patrice is wise, generous and full of positive energy. I LOVED this conversation, and I feel permanently enriched by connecting with this beautiful human being.

Susan Post introduced Aspire, the Columbus-cultivated award ceremony honoring social entrepreneurs. The annual award show began in 2013, and continues to celebrate social enterprise in Columbus today. Similar to many events in 2020, Aspire will be held virtually. Now the event has a larger capacity for more people to share this celebratory experience sponsored by Social Ventures. Three awards exist, which include Social Enterprise of the Year, Emerging Social Enterprise of the Year, and Nonprofit Sustainability. To give context to the awards, Susan gave examples of previous winners which included Freedom A La Cart, Honest Jobs, and Clean Turn. For this year, the award show has two awards: Social Enterprise of the Year award and the new Social Enterprise Coronavirus Pivot. Susan explained the importance of paying attention to recognizing the “social enterprises that were faced with huge challenges in their operational models because of the situation and found really great ways to pivot and find new ways to serve the community and carry out their mission.” Aspire establishes recognition, and provides a platform for social enterprises to tell their stories. Susan personally feels the value of awareness around social enterprise. People should see the link of engaging with social good initiatives to the impact born from the participation. The power of impact at scale becomes a more tangible topic to the general public. In this year’s awards, the public will be able to feel more acquainted with the award nominees. Susan shared her delight about the one-on-one interviews Aspire had with finalists. Unlike previous years, the interviews are a way to hear directly from the nominees. Susan suggested anyone in the general public can start by browsing listings from Social Ventures. She encourage everyone to actively discover social enterprises, whether local or non-local. From my experience, one thing I observed is that people in Columbus are supportive of each other. Spaces built for opening doors and connecting names with faces are at the core of the organic web of genuine effort in Columbus. Speaking of Columbus, we dived into Susan’s origin story. As of now, Susan worked with Metroprenuer for over seven years, but of course there is a journey prior to joining the initiative. She grew up in Ohio, and attended Ohio State University (OSU). Susan briefly explained how she ended up in her career path. Circling back to the awards, Susan informed everyone that tickets are a give-what-you-want donation this year. If you donate more than $15, you'll be eligible to win a social impact box from Social Ventures. Susan further expressed interactions she had in Ohio. She explained her thoughts on  writing articles to convey the excitement companies have around their impact and missions. Susan speaks on the future complications Columbus could face, including evictions. The issues began before the evictions.l, and we dove into the topics layering social issues in Columbus. We had the type of conversation where you need more time. To learn more, visit Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter , and the official site.

Guest Bio:Representative Mia Love was born in Brooklyn, New York and eventually moved to Connecticut.  Rep. Love recalls both her parents working hard to earn a living.   Her father, at times, worked more than one job to pay school tuition for his three children.  On the day of Love's college orientation, her father said something to her that would become the mantra for her life:"Mia, your mother and I never took a handout. You will not be a burden to society. You will give back."Rep. Love graduated from the University of Hartford with a degree in fine arts. She moved to Utah and married her husband, Jason Love.  She was eager to carry forward her father's ethic of ‘giving back'.  Rep. Love served two terms on the city council of Saratoga Springs, one of Utah's fastest growing cities. As City Councilwoman and eventually Mayor, she led the city through a period of 1700% population growth in a decade. Under her leadership, the city was able to successfully navigate the drastic transition from agricultural fields to a booming residential community. When the citizen growth necessitated fire and police services, Love fought to make sure the city's first ever residential tax implementation would only pay for those essential services, and she structured it in such a way that the tax decreased as a percentage of property value.Rep. Love is best known for her conservative positions on limited government, increased citizen liberties and limited restraints on business. She believes the best thing she can do as a Congresswoman is to urge the federal government to stay out of the way of business and out of the lives of citizens. She advocates a return to personal responsibility and reduced government dependency, again a value engendered by her father.She felt so deeply about these convictions, she ran for Congress in 2012, and again in 2014 where she was victorious.  Now in her second term in Congress, Representative Love has been very busy keeping the promises she made to her constituents in the 4th district by voting to foster local control in all aspects of government.Congresswoman Love has sponsored a variety of bills, 10 in her first term, one of which passed the House of Representatives in April 2016.  (H.R. 3791 would give more small banks the flexibility to lend money to consumers.)   She is the co-sponsor of dozens of additional bills, including legislation that promotes local control of education, free market solutions to our health care crisis, and cutting the regulatory burden that the federal government has imposed on small businesses.Rep. Love is serving on the Financial Services Committee, and on the Monetary Policy and Trade, Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit, and the Terrorism and Illicit Financing subcommittees.   In 2016, Rep. Love is also served on the Select Investigative Committee on Infant Lives.    Based on her votes, she has twice been honored to accept the U.S. Chamber of Commerce ‘Spirit of Enterprise Award', the American Conservative Union's ‘Award for Conservative Excellence', the IFDA's 'Thomas Jefferson Award, the Susan B. Anthony List's ‘Marilyn Musgrave Defender of Life' award, and the National Federation of Independent Business 'Small Business Guardian Award'.
