What does it really take to build a successful business?
Ask the seven entrepreneurs coming to WORK Lakes Region's 2026 "How I Built This" Speaker Series, and they won't give you the sanitized version.
Presented by The Home Beautiful.
You'll hear from a woman who invested her life savings into a truck in 2008 with zero construction experience and built a 20-person paving operation. A chemist who made the color-changing mountains on Coors cans. A couple who leads 500 employees and just gave them ownership through an ESOP. Serial entrepreneurs who've hit Inc. 5000's fastest-growing companies list. Business owners who solved retention while everyone else complains about it.
These are real conversations about real challenges—scaling, team building, pivoting, succession planning—from people who are still in the arena.
March - October 2026 • 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM
WORK Lakes Region, 51 Elm Street, Laconia
Lunch included thanks to Franklin Savings Bank.
