Chris Holman welcomes back Kim Bode, Dog rescuer, community advocate, and proud Michigan business owner, 8THIRTY FOUR Integrated Communications, Grand Rapids, MI. Welcome back Kim, the fellowship you shared about a couple times in the past year is back for a second, tell us about it? SBAM designed the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship specifically for second-stage businesses—why is this growth stage such a critical point for women entrepreneurs? Access to capital remains a major barrier, with women receiving significantly smaller loans and less venture funding—how does the fellowship help bridge that gap? The program emphasizes customized mentorship and peer networking. What measurable impacts did you see from the first cohort, and how will those lessons shape this next one? Michigan women own over 44% of small businesses—how does the fellowship leverage SBAM's statewide network to amplify their economic impact? For companies generating $500,000–$1 million in revenue, what key challenges are you seeing most often, and how does the fellowship address them differently than traditional programs? How can they apply? » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/ The Small Business Association of Michigan Expands Statewide Program for Second-stage Women-owned Businesses The Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship opens applications for a fall cohort to address resources, support, and funding gaps for Michigan women entrepreneurs. The Small Business Association of Michigan, through the SBAM Foundation, is accepting applications for the second cohort of the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship (WEF), the state's only comprehensive program designed specifically for women-owned businesses that have moved beyond the startup phase. Following the success of its inaugural class, the program will expand to serve 15 participants, with applications due mid-September and programming beginning late fall. "Michigan women entrepreneurs bring bold ideas and unstoppable determination, but too often they lack access to the mentorship and networks that can accelerate their success," said Amy Rencher, Senior Vice President, Small Business & Talent at the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC). "This unique fellowship program closes that gap, fueling connections with experienced leaders who can open doors, share hard-earned wisdom, and help turn vision into thriving businesses that strengthen our communities and our economy." The fellowship addresses documented disparities that create significant economic opportunity gaps. According to the Wells Fargo 2025 Impact of Women-Owned Businesses Report, if women-owned businesses achieved the same average revenue as men-owned businesses, the U.S. economy would see an additional $10.2 trillion in revenue annually. In Michigan, women own 44.2% of small businesses—902,131 enterprises—yet they receive loans 50% smaller than their male counterparts. Only 2.3% of venture capital reaches women-led firms, while nearly 1 in 3 female entrepreneurs report experiencing sexism as business owners.

Originally uploaded July 24th, reloaded August 14th. Jeffrey Mosher welcomes Phil Roos, Director of EGLE, Michigan's Department of Environment, Great Lakes And Energy, Lansing, MI The EGLE team recently visited Kalamazoo to tour brownfield sites. Before we get into the specifics, what is brownfield redevelopment and why does it matter? You toured the Harrison Circle site and River's Edge site. Can you talk about what makes each of these special? EGLE works with more communities than just Kalamazoo on brownfield development. Can you talk about the impact the program is having statewide? Earlier this year, Governor Whitmer released her FY 26 budget recommendations. How do her recommendations support brownfield redevelopment as well as environmental sustainability and economic development? » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/ State, local leaders visit Kalamazoo to celebrate affordable housing built on former contaminated sites EGLE hosts a roundtable and tour of brownfield redevelopment sites supported by $1.3 million in EGLE remediation grants Today, the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) Director Phil Roos toured Harrison Circle and River's Edge, two brownfield redevelopment sites in downtown Kalamazoo. After the tour, Director Roos led a roundtable discussion with local leaders discussing the impacts of these projects, the importance of state and local partnerships and future opportunities for brownfield redevelopment across Kalamazoo and Southwest Michigan. “Investing in the redevelopment of brownfield sites is not just about cleaning up the past. It is about creating a brighter future for our communities, our economy and the environment,” said EGLE Director Phil Roos. “Projects like Harrison Circle and River's Edge show how strategic cleanup efforts can turn once-contaminated properties into affordable housing and community assets. We remain committed to continuing this vital work across the state, ensuring every Michigan community with contaminated properties has the opportunity to benefit from these investments.” Once contaminated with metals, solvents and petroleum from a multitude of former uses, including an auto repair and a heat-treating facility, the River's Edge property along the Kalamazoo River is being transformed into affordable housing. With help from a $1 million grant from EGLE, the $55 million development will feature two four-story apartment buildings, 224 rental units, a community center and a leasing office. Tenants are expected to begin moving in next year. State Representative Julie Rogers, who represents Kalamazoo in the legislature, also attended the roundtable. "As a former member of the Kalamazoo County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority Board for over a decade, I've witnessed the rehabilitation of many contaminated industrial sites that we have been able to redevelop into prime commercial real estate properties. With the changes in brownfield policy we passed at the state level, I am thrilled we can also turn brownfields in Kalamazoo into vibrant housing solutions for our communities,” Rogers said.

For three decades, Alina Stevens' family business got “we want to buy you” letters almost daily—then in 2024, she finally said yes. In this candid conversation, Alina walks the Blue-Collar Twins through scaling All Pro Pest from ~25 to ~50 employees, choosing a buyer who kept the team (only one person left), and the emotional gear-shift from making every decision to consulting while the new owner hums along.

Season 5: Episode 212 In this episode of North American Ag Spotlight, Chrissy Wozniak is joined by Jaime Jerrels, Senior Director of Policy and Outreach at the Florida Farm Bureau Federation, to discuss one of the most powerful and overlooked challenges in agriculture today: farmer mental health. Florida Farm Bureau, in partnership with UF/IFAS and the Mind Your Melon Foundation, has released its first-ever statewide mental health report—and the findings are deeply personal, alarming, and a call to action.Jaime brings more than just her professional insights to the conversation. Raised on a peanut and cattle farm in Levy County and now raising five children on that same land with her husband, she speaks from the heart—both as a policy advocate and as a woman of faith. Her passion for standing in the gap for farmers who often carry the weight of the world in silence is rooted in her belief that agriculture is more than an industry—it's a mission field.The conversation goes far beyond statistics, touching on hurricanes, financial stress, isolation, and the unique burdens of rural life. Jaime shares her firm belief that faith, prayer, and community can bring healing and strength where it's needed most. She encourages struggling producers to lean on their relationship with God, seek out trusted connections, and remember that telehealth and other support tools are available—and confidential.Chrissy and Jaime also explore the critical role churches, Farm Bureau, and peer-to-peer relationships play in restoring connection and hope to those silently struggling.Learn more and view the full 2025 Mind Your Melon Farmer Wellbeing Survey at: https://www.floridafarmbureau.orgNorth American Ag is devoted to highlighting the people & companies in agriculture who impact our industry and help feed the world.
