Small Giants Community

Last week, we celebrated the graduation of our Leadership Academy Class of 2026. We had an amazing time in Texas. The team at Text-Em-All were fabulous hosts, and gave us an inside look at how their company and culture have gotten more clear and colorful over time. A huge thank you to everyone at TEA for their hospitality!

We also made space for our graduates to reflect on what they’ve learned over nine months, and how they’ll use that knowledge moving forward.

Congratulations to all of our graduates! Thank you Brittany Barker, Sage Chesmer, Kimberly Evans, Kori Gualtieri, Todd Isis, Meagan Larkin, Bernard Misiak, MBA, Matthew Price and Courtney Moncrieff for joining us in Dallas for this special occasion, and for allowing us to be a part of your leadership journey. And also congrats to Morrin McGunagle, Veena Ahmed, and Adam Gustafson - we missed you!

A great evening in Chicago!

It was wonderful to see a few Small Giants come together for dinner, welcoming the Alpha Coffee team and enjoying an evening of meaningful conversations and new connections.

This is what the Small Giants community is all about.🧡

There’s always a moment after the Summit.

When the conversations settle.
When the rooms are quiet.
And everything from the past few days starts to land.

Last week in Detroit, something real happened.

Leaders showed up openly.
Hard conversations were had.
New perspectives were formed.
And connections were built that will carry far beyond these two days.

This year’s theme was Navigate.
And you could feel it in every room.

Not in having all the answers.
But in the willingness to keep moving forward. Together.

To everyone who joined us in Detroit. Thank you for showing up the way you did.
To our speakers and partners. Thank you for helping shape the experience.
And to our team who brought it all to life. We’re incredibly proud.

Today is a big day in the Small Giants Community.

Finding Freedom by .moncrieff is officially out in the world.

This book speaks to something we see often in this community. Leaders who have built something meaningful, and then find themselves asking a harder question…

How do I grow this without it depending on me for everything?

Finding Freedom is an honest look at that journey. Letting go of control. Building leaders. Creating a business that can stand on its own.

It is also a special moment for us as a community. This is the first book released through , in partnership with

If you know someone who is carrying too much in their business right now, this might be the book to pass along.

📙If you pick up a copy, let us know what resonates with you.

Hey Small Giants Community!

My first book, 𝙁𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙁𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙤𝙢, launches in less than a week. It's all about building shifting mindset, building momentum, and transitioning your role in the business.

I’ll be honest, bringing a book into the world isn’t something you do alone.

It takes a movement.

And right now, I need all the support I can get.

As a Small Giants Community member, you are cordially invited to become one of my trusted 𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙡𝙖𝙪𝙣𝙘𝙝 𝙖𝙢𝙗𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙖𝙙𝙤𝙧𝙨—people who want to be part of getting this message out into the world.

AI is everywhere right now.
But using it in a way that aligns with your values is a different challenge.

We’re excited to welcome Ron Kinkade from Text-Em-All to the Small Giants stage at this year’s Summit.

In this interactive session, Ron will share a perspective shaped by real decisions. The kind that come with tension. What to adopt, what to question, and how to move forward without compromising what matters most.

This is a conversation about growth. Not just in capability, but in clarity.

If you’re thinking about how to navigate AI while staying grounded in your values, this session will give you something to reflect on.

Join us April 28–30 in Detroit.

What happens when the plan you’ve built no longer works?

We’re glad to welcome Carl Churchill, Founder of Alpha Coffee, to the Small Giants stage at this year’s Summit.

In this fireside chat, Carl will share a story of navigating a moment when things didn’t go as expected. A reset. A recalibration. And the kind of decisions that come when the path forward isn’t clear.

Not a perfect plan.
But a real one.

Join us April 28–30 in Detroit.

🎟️ Registration closes today. Grab your spot while you still can!

What if getting what you wanted is the moment everything starts to shift?

We’re glad to welcome Sarah Grace Mohr, CEO of MACKEY to the Small Giants stage at this year’s Summit.

In this session, Sarah will explore a side of leadership that often shows up quietly. The internal moments that come with growth, change, and stepping into something new.
It’s not about having the answers.
It’s about seeing yourself differently.

The most powerful leadership begins within.

Join us April 28–30 in Detroit.
