Register

A dynamic and informative 90-minute breakfast program specifically geared to San Luis Obispo business people. Held on the fourth Thursday of each month, local experts focus on a wide variety of community and business topics.
Deadline to register is 5:00 p.m. June 26.

 

MIND OVER MATTER | STARTING HUMBLE AND AIMING HIGH
Mindbody has seemed unstoppable recently, completing a couple big acquisitions, continuing to rack up users and accolades, even snagging Michelle Obama to keynote its annual BOLD conference. But it wasn’t always that way. We asked CEO Rick Stollmeyer to share some stories from the early days of the company, when success was far from a sure thing

 

TURNING GRIEF TO ACTION 
After the Readys lost their 3-year-son to the cancer he had battled since birth, they made it their mission to help other families of children with cancer or special needs find support and resources. Jack’s Helping Hand has gone on to serve thousands of people since its founding in 2004. We asked Bridget Ready to share her powerful story of turning grief into action.

 

OH, SO THAT’S WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
Behind the walls of an unassuming building on Granada Drive, leading-edge science is happening quietly every day. Promega Biosciences is pioneering advances in genetic research and applications for identification, drug discovery, even solving crime. We asked the company’s director of chemistry, Poncho Meisenheimer, to give us a peek into the life-changing work taking place in its labs.

 

DRAGGING PRIDE INTO THE FOREFRONT
Pride celebrations have been a familiar part of summer for a couple decades now, but many of us still don’t know much about the history behind them – or the role that drag queens played in advancing civil rights and the LGBTQ communities they’re a part of. We asked CJ Gormley, whose alter ego Rosé Aldé hosts Pride in the Plaza, to pull back the curtain on the local drag scene.

 

WHEN SEVEN PLUS SEVERAL MORE EQUALS ONE
Seven cities, plus the county and several towns, often means just as many approaches to government, business, transportation and more. But with a budding spirit of collaboration, our leaders are seeking shared regional approaches to our shared regional challenges. SLO City Manager Derek Johnson will address the concept of regionalism and how it is being leveraged to benefit the community as a whole.

 

WE’RE HOLDING FIRM ON THAT FIVE-MINUTE TIME LIMIT
Ermina Karim has emceed 70-odd Good Morning SLO breakfasts, among a few other duties and accomplishments, since being named the Chamber’s president and CEO in 2011. Before she heads off into the sunset – or at least a well-deserved summer off – we asked our outgoing leader to take a turn on the other side of the stage to share some parting remarks.
