[Kim Bode spotlight, participant in SBAM's Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship] Jeffrey Mosher welcomes Diane Arnold, owner of Neuco Furniture & Upholstery, Traverse City, MI. This is the second of four interviews in a series. There were several things he wanted to find out in this conversation: What have been some successes/challenges you've faced in your business? What's the best thing about having a business in Michigan? How did you learn about the SBAM fellowship? Why did you decide to apply? How did you feel when you heard you were accepted? How has being a part of the fellowship impacted you and your business? Small Business Association of Michigan Foundation Announces Inaugural Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship New Program Addresses Multiple Challenges for Second-Stage, Women-Owned Businesses LANSING, Mich. – The SBAM Foundation (SBAMF), supported by its parent organization, the Small Business Association of Michigan, has launched its Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship (WEF) program and chosen 11 businesses for the first cohort. The eight-month initiative will equip these second-stage, women-owned businesses with resources to overcome diverse challenges and scale their operations. “The launch of the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship is an exciting step toward ensuring that second-stage, women-owned businesses receive the targeted support they need to thrive, said Brian Calley, SBAM President & CEO. “This program will provide invaluable resources, from mentorship and business certifications to networking opportunities and access to capital, helping these entrepreneurs overcome the unique challenges they face.” Qualifying businesses have more than one employee in addition to the owner, have been in operation for at least two years, and generate a minimum of $500,000 in annual revenue. Here are the businesses that were selected for the inaugural cohort: ● Eagle Specialties, LLC ● Elderly Instruments ● Fido & Stitch ● Groovy Donuts ● Jungle Jane Promotions ● Marshall Holding ● Neuco Furniture & Upholstery ● Pioneer Machine and Technology, Inc ● The Betty Brigade ● Winsome Travel Design ● Wolverine Pickleball Recent data underscores the need for the support provided by this new program. Only 10% of women business owners report securing a small business loan, and women-owned businesses receive just 2.2% of all venture capital funding in the U.S. Operationally, 59% struggle with hiring and retaining qualified staff, while 80% face difficulties dealing with increased costs. "Women-owned businesses in Michigan confront a multitude of challenges that hinder their growth potential," said Kim Bode, Program Director. "From financial constraints to operational difficulties, our fellowship is designed to address these issues comprehensively." To address these issues, the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship offers: ● One-on-one mentorship with established business leaders ● Monthly learning sessions on critical business topics ● Networking opportunities with investors and industry leaders ● Guidance on accessing capital and growth resources ● Support in obtaining relevant business certifications ● Specialized courses on financial management, marketing, and operational efficiency "The Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship addresses the unique challenges faced by women entrepreneurs in Michigan,” said Amy Rencher, Senior Vice President of Small Business Services at the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC). The program runs from November to June 2025 and is currently recruiting for 2025/26 cohorts. Interested women-owned small businesses can find more information on the WEF website or contact Kim Bode, WEF program director. The Women Entrepreneurial Fellowship is free of cost and funded by the Small Business Support Hub Grant Program in collaboration with the MEDC.

In 1999 Jes and Wes were on a quest to work for themselves and have more control over their own time. That's when they created Crown Upholstery. After 25 years they have  definitely worked, but they have yet to gain much control over their time. Jesica is the 5th generation in her family to be enticed by the upholstery lifestyle. Growing up in her grandparents shop, in Glendale Arizona, she witnessed first hand the freedoms upholstery had to offer as well as the hard work one has to put in to be successful in this craft. Wes was raised in Maryland and had never known upholstery to be anything other than something you did to the interiors of cars.  The sirens of upholstery began to sing to him on a visit to Jesica's grandparents house. He saw their home based shop and the countless processes that go into this craft and quickly fell in love. Having a background in auto mechanics he was already primed for the problem solving journey that upholstery provides. He took a few classes taught by Jesica's grandfather, Frank, and then began his apprenticeship with him after Frank saw the enthusiasm and attention to detail Wes had. Within a few years of walking into an upholstery shop for the first time, Wes was starting his own. It began in a tiny one car garage that shared space with laundry machines, holiday decorations and lawn equipment but it did the job. Jesica had experience in accounting and she's much better at organization and management of things so that made the decision of who would be boss really easy.  They moved across country a couple of times searching for a place to settle down and eventually landed in east Tennessee. In the 17 years living and working in Knoxville they have established a reputation for quality upholstery and excellent customer service. For the majority of their upholstery career they have been a home based business. In 2018 they purchased their first commercial space. A 1920's grocery store with an apartment above. They were officially a business based home. Within a few years, and after hiring another upholsterer Crown Upholstery was ready for more growth.  Jesica found and purchased another building in the same neighborhood. This allowed them to bring on another full-time upholsterer. Jesica was now coordinating the schedules of 3 upholsterers along with everything else that goes into running a business. They still live above the old upholstery shop but it is now a Hair salon that Jesica manages as well. There's a reason she won Knoxville's Women owned business of the year 2024. Even when they aren't working together they still enjoy spending time together. Whether it's camping, sifting through junks shops or riding bikes.  They are rarely seen very far apart.  Crown Upholstery is on Instagram and Facebook SBA - Small Business Association Kim's Upholstery

Marianne Henderson is the owner of Sandhill Designs and Upholstery.  She is a dedicated wife and loving mother of three wonderful children, including girl/boy twins in their late thirties and a youngest son who is soon to turn 30. From an early age, she had a passion for sewing, starting with making her own Barbie clothes and later progressing to designing her own outfits. She saved her allowance to buy fabric and patterns and, after taking a single sewing class in junior high, continued to teach herself the craft. Although she was accepted into the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in San Francisco, a life-changing event altered her path just before she was set to attend. She spent nearly 30 years working in accounting, but it never fulfilled her passion. While working part-time as a bookkeeper and creating custom soft furnishings for a local furniture store, she had the opportunity to reupholster a child's chair. This sparked a love for the craft and a realization that upholstery was her true calling. Over the last 12 years, she has immersed herself in the world of upholstery, learning through YouTube videos, books, and online courses, including those offered by Kim Chagnon of Kim's Upholstery. Recently, she has expanded her skills to include window coverings. She is an active member of the National Upholstery Association and the Window Coverings Association of America.   Sandhill Custom Designs and Upholstery is on Facebook and Instagram Kim's Upholstery Funky Little Chair courses are on the Workroom Channel The Workoom Channel Remarkable 2 Change Your Paradigm, Change Your Life by Rob Proctor

Mike Millsap grew up in the drag racing world, but he never thought it would lead to a shop allowing him to build the coolest cars in the world. He always had a passion for fixing cars, but after high school, never thought it would be more than a hobby and be a running, growing business. He asked his mom every day after football practice to drive him by his father's shop to see how the new build was going. Eventually, he bugged them enough that at 14, the mechanics of the upholstery shop gave him a job sweeping floors one summer. This led to the birth of a welding shop which provided enough supplemental income so he could work on cars in his spare time. Within three years, he doubled his square footage, continuing to do so every 3-5 years after that. Since high school, he's been so busy building hot rods for clients, he hasn't had much time to build one of his own. But now he's working on a '62 chevy station wagon. Now, his focus is on the Hot Rod Power Tour. 3,000 miles in 7 days. He is the owner of Sachse Rod Shop, a full-build shop specializing in custom cars and auto restoration with a complete showroom.

On this week's ep, I'm sitting down with Kazna Asker. Kazna is fashion-focussed multi-disciplinary artist who celebrates her Yemeni culture through her clothes and documentaries. Sam Birch, who helped with the filming of M.O.G. series one, sent me a link to a BBC news segment celebrating Kazna's first show at London fashion week, which was very, very sick. I watched her documentary about the place she comes from on the train back from London and thought she'd be ace to get on My Own Garms. She makes absolutely mint gear incorporating second-hand trackies and traditional woven fabrics. I'm buzzing hear more about the diverse influences she draws on to create her work and how she celebrates and elevates her community through garms.
