SBX Road Trip! In February, the ladies of SBX met with partners of XcelerateHER to attend The Atelier Collective’s Niagara 2020 women entrepreneurship event. On the drive, we binged on The Birds Papaya podcasts – this was our strategy to ensure we enjoyed her keynote at the event in all its glory. We were buzzing with excitement – the thrill of heading somewhere new (that happens to be on a vineyard – cheers to Ravine Vineyard!), the joy of spending time with other ambitious women, and the inspiration that comes from hearing new perspectives and shared stories.
