Entrepreneurship is risky business (literally), but in Memphis, the rewards often outshine the risk. Memphis is known as a city that produces movers and shakers—problem solvers who get creative and look beyond limitations—but what are we doing to support and keep them here? How do we define success and how does hope factor into a business plan? Can we invest in innovation with more than just money? Perhaps most importantly, why is the 901 the perfect place to get started? We covered all of this and more at Celebrate What’s Right: Risky Business conversation on entrepreneurship from April 6th, 2023. This event was sponsored by First Horizon Foundation, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee, and Duncan Williams Asset Management.

We work very hard to make these events accessible, but we know that there are a myriad of reasons why members of our community had to miss this conversation. In an effort to ensure that these leaders’ insights are disseminated far and wide, we’re bringing you their conversation on the radio waves this morning.

• Jessica Taveau, President and CEO at Epicenter Memphis (Moderator)
• Suzanne Drumwright, Director of Operations at Dextrous Robotics
• Brandon Harris, Principal at Ridgeline
