• Add captions, clean audio, and overlays in minutes
• Use Captions App to create talking-head videos fast
• Shoot, edit, caption, and post directly from your phone

Join us for a morning of connection, conversation, and real insight from women who are doing the work. We’re partnering with the Temple Terrace Uptown Chamber of Commerce for a Networking Women’s Breakfast: Wisdom from Women—and this is one you won’t want to miss.

This event brings together an incredible panel of local women leaders sharing real experiences, lessons learned, and the kind of perspective you only get from being in the room.

Moderator: Michele Northrup (SaucyQueen)

Panel Includes:
– Ami Govindaraju, Drybar Tampa
– Christina Sweet, The Main Ingredient
– Lynn Kroesen, Entrepreneur Collaborative Center

This panel brings together women who aren’t just talking about business—they’re actively building, leading, and making decisions in real time. The conversation will focus on what it actually looks like to run and grow a business today: navigating uncertainty, making tough calls, and figuring things out as you go.

Rather than abstract ideas or overly polished success stories, this session centers on real experience—shared openly and honestly. You can expect practical insight, candid perspectives, and a clearer understanding of what it really takes to move from idea to execution.

Whether you’re growing a business, building your network, or just looking to be around like-minded women, this is the kind of space where real connections happen.
