Yesterday, our entire team had the pleasure of visiting several of our satellite offices, from Northwest Florida State College, to the Destin Chamber of Commerce, Walton Area Chamber of Commerce, and TechFarms in Panama City Beach. We concluded the day by celebrating our Panama City based consultant Dr. Len Eichler's birthday! We enjoyed getting the chance to meet with some of our stakeholders, as well as learning more about some of the businesses working with TechFarms, including ArroTech, Better Greens, and Chaos Audio!

📈Meet John Emsing, Small Business Consultant with the Florida SBDC at UWF ... and quite possibly the only person who can out-talk, out-think, and out-host a room before 8 AM.
Known (unofficially but unanimously) as the world’s best small business consultant, John makes the trek from Pensacola to Crestview like it’s nothing, which is why we’ve basically adopted him as honorary Chamber staff at this point.
Before all that, in another life, he was part of the crew at Third Planet Brewery, so yes, he’s been bringing people together long before we put a microphone in his hand.
He’s the guy with a million great ideas, a perfectly timed witty comeback, and interviewing skills that could give Oprah a run for her money.
If there’s a panel to host or a conversation to lead, just hand John the mic and watch the magic happen.🎤
