A Reflection Two Years Later: Live from Orlando! Amplify Your Power, Strengthen Relationships, and Celebrate Your Authenticity with MBA Orlando & Central Florida Out Bosses

Written By Rhodes Perry

Two years ago - in collaboration with MBA Orlando and the National LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce - Rhodes Perry, host and creator of the popular weekly podcast, The Out Entrepreneur, took the show on the road for the Inaugural Live Recording & LGBTQ Marketplace Event on Monday, December 11, 2017. The purpose of the event aimed to amplify the power of #OutBosses, connect them with supplier diversity professionals, and inspire the next generation of LGBTQ people to take the entrepreneurial leap.

During the live podcast, local out business leader Deb Ofsowitz (formerly from edgefactory) joined corporate partner, Ashley Brundage from PNC Bank, along with Thomas Yaegers from MBA Orlando. Together, the panelists shared how they are creating economic opportunities for LGBTQ+ communities in Central FL and beyond. After the discussion, participants had the opportunity to network with sponsoring businesses, panelists, LGBTQ business owners, and our allies.

The event was made possible thanks to our sponsors!
