Boost With Facebook Summer of Support: Entrepreneurial Icons and Small Business Owners Talk Resilience

Boost With Facebook Summer of Support: Entrepreneurial Icons and Small Business Owners Talk Resilience

L

ast week we kicked off Boost With Facebook Summer of Support — a six-week virtual program that offers free training, tools and insight to help you get back to business. In a perspectives session, we heard from Facebook’s VP of Small Business Rich Rao, who talked about how businesses that have spent a lifetime building foot traffic and personal relationships are suddenly faced with a new opportunity to expand their offerings online. In a spotlight session, sports and business legend Magic Johnson shared his insights on using capital to build brands and communities.

This week, we’re coming together again around a new theme of resilience. Here are some of this week’s highlights:

Perspectives: Ask Mr. Wonderful

Entrepreneur and investment icon Kevin O’Leary earned his reputation by being tough and smart. This week he’ll lay out his no-nonsense advice for surviving and thriving in these uniquely challenging times, as he answers questions from the small business community.

Q&A: Making Change

Facebook CMO Antonio Lucio has a conversation with Paypal’s EVP, Global Sales and Facebook Board Member, Peggy Alford about the current challenges businesses face right now, and how they can use change to drive growth and create value.

Deciding Where and How to Find People Online

A social media map helps you decide where and how to show up online. Learn how to make one for your business and use it to determine which visual formats and social media channels make the most sense for you.

A Community Conversation About Resilient Small Businesses

On July 1 at 3PM PT we’re coming together for a conversation about resilience when the going gets tough. This will be an opportunity for small business owners to share ideas and resources on how to weather a storm and come out the other side even stronger than before. Learn more and sign up to attend.

Unsung Heroes: Bold and Sassy

Often, positive change happens because of the extraordinary effort of ordinary people. This week, we’ll hear the story of Torri Hammond, owner of Bold and Sassy Hair Designs in Charleston, SC.

Boost My Business With Tan France: Bake Me Happy

This week, we’re sharing episode three of our new Facebook Watch show, Boost My Business. Tan meets with gluten-free bakery owners Wendy and Letha Pugh in Columbus, Ohio. With the help of Facebook Creative Strategist Peter Grimaldi and a mobile phone, they create a series of ads designed to help drive weekday traffic to their bakery.

Each Summer of Support session is designed to help, inspire or educate you as you continue on your journey through this ever-changing world, and we’ll be sharing new Boost With Facebook Summer of Support content through the end of July. Next week’s theme is reinvention, where we’ll feature new speakers and trainings, so bookmark the page and keep tuning in.
