The Boston Blueprint: Local Support, Lasting Success—FROM INC. STUDIO AND CHASE FOR BUSINESS
Boston is more than just cobblestone streets and championship banners—it's a thriving ecosystem of innovators, dreamers, and entrepreneurs. Since the early days of American history, Boston has been a hub for entrepreneurial activity. However, the secret of Boston’s thriving local business scene lies in the strong sense of community support and collaboration. From neighborhood business associations and grassroots initiatives to vibrant networking events, Bostonians take pride in lifting one another up.
In this episode, we’ll hear from Alafia Spencer, founder of Boston-based
Dream Kid Spa, as she shares how some key community partnerships have helped her build her business and the role creativity plays for small-business owners when reaching customers and solving challenges. We’ll also hear from Johnny Charles, senior business consultant and VP of Business Banking at Chase, who will delve into the role of community-driven initiatives, how cultural diversity stemming from the unique neighborhoods scattered across the city fuels creativity, and what’s next for small businesses in a city that blends tradition with transformation.
And finally, you'll get the latest economic insights and strategic guidance
from Chase for Business CEO Ben Walter, to help your business navigate the second half of 2025.
