Affordable, practical training for small & local business owners

Running a small business is tough enough — learning how to market and grow it shouldn’t be. That’s why we created the Level Up Biz Lab, a hands-on workshop series designed to give you practical skills you can apply immediately to help your business thrive.

Every other month, join us on Thursday evenings from 6:00–7:30 p.m. at The Morning Show Studio (400 E Van Buren St, 7th Floor, Phoenix — parking directly under the tower).

Investment: Just $20–$25 per session

Format: Interactive, beginner-friendly, community-driven

Why Join?

• Affordable, focused learning — no fluff, just the skills you need
• Hands-on practice with tools, apps, and strategies you can use right away
• Connection & community with other local entrepreneurs
• Walk away from each session with clear action steps (not just ideas!)
