Here's what you'll find in this issue:

🌟 Entrepreneur Spotlight: Deepti Sharma with Divine Spark Association LLC

Deepti Sharma didn’t start Divine Spark Association just to launch a business—she started it to solve real problems she saw in her community.

With a background in food safety and a focus on wellness, she built Divine Spark to do two things:

  1. Certify food workers through ServSafe training—a stepping stone to better jobs and higher standards.

  2. Lead healthy vegetarian cooking demos—bringing practical nutrition into homes, especially for mothers and kids in underserved areas.

Different services, same mission: helping people improve their health and their livelihoods through food.

💡 Next Steps: Deepti’s goal is to certify 20 students each month and host 7+ cooking demos weekly—in schools, libraries, and rural communities across the Triad.

🥇 Recent Win: Divine Spark just ran its first independent ServSafe training.

📍 Advice: “Track your progress. Stay focused. Ask for help.”

🗓️ Upcoming: ServSafe Training & Exams
— Sept 17–18 & Sept 29–30

📅 Event Spotlight: Business Builder Credit Card Workshop TONIGHT!

If you're a new business, you've probably hit the same wall: no track record, no funding.

The Business Builder Credit Card from American Partners FCU is one of the few options in the Triad designed specifically for startups. No personal guarantees. No perfect credit required. Just a straightforward way to start building business credit early.

We’re hosting a workshop and Q&A tonight with Marcus Delgado from American Partners FCU to walk through how it works, who it’s for, and what founders need to know.

🗓️ Tuesday, Sept 16, 6:00pm - 6:30pm
📍 Transform GSO powered by THRIVE Coworking (111 Lewis St)
👤 Featuring Marcus Delgado, American Partners FCU

🗓️ The Next Two Weeks in the Triad
