Have Ideas You Haven’t Acted On Yet?
I’m one of the featured speakers at the Ideas to Income Summit, a free online event happening August 17–21, 2026.
The virtual summit is designed for people who have an idea, skill, passion, story, or area of expertise they would like to turn into additional or replacement income.
During my session, I’ll be sharing: How Grants Can Fund Your Next Big Idea.
Grants have played a big role in my life as a creator, helping me bring several creative ideas I’ve had over the years to life.
You’ll also hear from experienced entrepreneurs and business leaders who will share how they developed their ideas, what helped them gain traction, what they learned the hard way, and what they would do differently if they were starting today.
