The Little Desk: Conversations on Entrepreneurship, NIGHT FOUR- GOAL EXECUTION

Three of the most influential entrepreneurial support organizations in Kansas City have teamed up to deliver The Little Desk, a new five-part series focused on entrepreneurship. You are invited to join us each Monday in October as we explore a new topic with the small business owners, creatives, and visionaries shaping today's entrepreneurial landscape in the Kansas City Region. 

Join us for night four as we discuss Goal Execution with Dan Smith, Co-Founder of The Porter House KC.

LOCATION: Room 330-301 of the Bloch Executive Hall at 5108 Cherry Street. There is limited parking directly North of the building. Recommended free parking is in the Cherry Street Garage. 



Porter House KC was founded to provide entrepreneurship guidance and expertise to underserved business owners in the Kansas City area. As an inner city-based business, Co-Founders Dan Smith and Charon Thompson saw the struggles that many business owners face when starting out and wanting to grow. Dan is a native of Kansas City, MO, and has worked in both for-profit and not-for-profit sectors in the past 14 years and has started, owned, and operated 5 businesses, including The Porter House KC. 

Attendance is limited to 50 individuals per session, and registration is required. You can learn more about the full five-part series HERE.
