Progress Playbook - Expert Impact

Lloyd Cambridge,

Progress Playbook

Met with Hugh Chappell

Progress Playbook is a small business training and economic development consultancy that partners with government agencies, business service organizations, and corporations to design, deliver and manage customized business education programs/curricula, and develop inclusive economic development strategies that support entrepreneurs and small businesses in starting and growing businesses locally and beyond.

Through his personal business stories that he shared with me, I was able to gain clarity and insight into how to approach the next phase of my business from Hugh. He also provided tangible action items, highlighted some of my blind spots, and gave me some important things to think about in order to scale. Thank you for your insights and willingness to share.
