Some of the people I would have never crossed paths with without Inc. community – I have met so many smart, kind entrepreneurs who all offer great perspective and a willingness to help. In time, I believe the Inc. community will have a gigantic impact on our business.

Before Inc. Leadership Forum, I had not been asked to come speak at events in the transportation logistic industry. I did three distinct things after I spoke to several community members. I started publishing on my byline page on Inc., and linked it to my new website and posted my podcast to the page. I had four speaking engagements in 2023 and then 12 in 2024! After eight years, I can attribute this to the momentum and connection-building the Inc. Leadership Forum publishing program provides. My outline for my book started as an INC article.

Being part of the Inc. Leadership Forum community has been a phenomenal force for growth, both for my company and for me personally. The access to a trusted network of fellow founders at events like the Inc. 5000 Conference and the Founders House in Philadelphia has been invaluable. Engaging with other leaders who understand the entrepreneurial journey has not only led to strategic insights, but also provided a profound sense of shared purpose and motivation that you simply can’t find anywhere else.

The Inc. Leadership Forum feels like home. It’s a trusted community of growth-minded leaders who show up with energy, insight, and generosity. From referrals to collaborations to meaningful support when you need it most—this is the tribe every entrepreneur deserves.
