  • Starting a Business in the Kitchen with Zach & Logan of Bagel Box
    Made by hand, fresh, every time.

    Bagel Box is a Toledo based cottage bakery. We provide fresh, handmade bagels to the northwest Ohio area with every single one being made to order. Formed and founded in 2020, our goal is to bring you the absolute best bagels you have ever had. We want you to not only enjoy them, but to be asking yourself, "Why haven't I had this earlier?" The guy you see here pictured is Zach. I am the owner, baker, and delivery guy! This is a very special photo to me. This is the kitchen where all of Bagel Box's baked goods are created. This kitchen was built by my wife, myself, and our families. Hand made, the way we like it, just like our goods we sell.

  • Following an Idea at All Costs with Charlie Denk of Stir Studio Kitchen

    While the ambitions of Stir are grand, the vision is simple... Cooking classes don't belong tucked into the back of big box stores. They shouldn't be just an afterthought of a restaurant or caterer. Kitchens should be beautiful and welcoming. The instruction should be as theatrical as it is educational. Customers shouldn't stress over constant upselling or a bill at the end of the night. Guests should make memories, not just meals. Stir is founded and owned by Cleveland native Charlie Denk. A few years into an engineering career, Charlie saw an opportunity to create a cooking class enterprise focused solely on guest experience - not as a retail sales mechanism or as a subsidiary of a caterer or restaurant. He quickly became disenchanted with corporate life. So in 2018, at the age of 25, Charlie set out to create Stir. In training, he conducted cooking classes for over 1,000 guests on behalf of the largest avocational cooking school in the United States. He continues to assemble a talented team dedicated to Stir's vision. Stir hosted its first class in June 2019 at the Ohio City studio and quickly gained notoriety and popularity. The Chagrin Falls studio was added in the fall of 2020. With grand ambitions, Stir is looking forward to continuing that momentum forward. Come along for the ride, and make some memories along the way.

  • Expanding Franchises & Utilizing Social Media with Becca Gordon of Stella & Shay Beauty Bar

    Becca received her full license from Aveda in East Lansing, Michigan before finding her true passion – nails. She has eight years of experience in the cosmetology world, with an extensive nail background. She is KLIX certified and CND certified. Raised by an entrepreneurial family, Becca has followed in their example and decided to turn her passion into a business. Her number one priority is offering exceptional customer service, but she also loves to form personal connections with her clients. She loves keeping up with beauty trends and is always excited to see what's next in the beauty world. Her interest in products and retail came from the opportunity to brand rep for Bumble and Bumble. She researched and tested many different brands and lines before choosing what to use at Stella & Shay. She wanted the offerings to be unique – not what you find at every other salon. Becca attended Kevin Murphy's Las Vegas event, Super.Natural, in November 2016 to learn the latest techniques and use of product. Becca loves animals (especially dogs!) and has two of her own – including the salon mascot, Stanley!

  • Building Relationships Through Event Planning with Lisa Wein of LW Events

    I've been planning events, inside non-profits, for over 15 years, so I have a unique perspective when it comes to events. In my experience, most non-profits focus on the event planning details instead on how the event is serving their mission and big picture goals for the year. Are the right people going to be in the room? Is your team prepared to talk with them that night? How are you going to use the event as a springboard for building relationships with your donors? If you haven't asked yourselves these questions, it's time to start! Events are expensive and time-consuming, so if you aren't taking full advantage of what your event can do for your organization, you are leaving money on the table. I look at events as one small piece, of a much bigger picture, and I want to see non-profits making their events more effective. I will help them think more strategically about what they need their events to do, set goals, and analyze whether their events actually accomplish those goals. The event logistics and details are important, but leave those up to LW Events, so your team can focus on your mission and donors that night. We will take the stress off your shoulders so you can focus on your organization's mission and goals.

  • Creating a Community with Coffee: Cabin Fever Coffee & Adam Tracy
    YOU'LL OFTEN HEAR IT CALLED "CABIN"  OR "THE CABIN"

    That's just code for a cute little coffee shop that started it's roots in downtown Defiance, one of the most visited spots on the block. The Cabin has been long established; adorned in this hunting, woodsy lodge deco since its opening in 2003. It is really unlike any other downtown space - the exposed brick walls, stuffed woodland creatures, tin roofing, and rich mahogany wood accents create an inviting and fun atmosphere. 

    Then the Cabin enlarged it's tent stakes and opened a second location on the Southside of Defiance, replicating the downtown locations theme and feeling with a bit of an updated feeling also with the long awaited and requested drive-thru. The second location has been happily running alongside the founding location since October of 2018.
