"Who am I without my company?” That’s the question Louisville native Taylor Trusty asked himself after he sold Blackstone Media to a Boston firm two years ago. Join Venture Connectors for a virtual lunch on Wednesday, July 8 to hear all about Trusty’s entrepreneurial journey — which included a move to New York City — his loss of identity and world travels after he sold his firm, and what he’s learned along the way. Taylor was originally slated to speak at our April lunch, and we’re so excited for the chance to reschedule! You don't want to miss out!

The event is free for Venture Connectors members and just $10 for guests! Register here.
