Community & Speaking
Giving Back to the Dallas Business Community
Most of what I learned about running a business, I learned from people who were further along the path than I was — and who took the time to teach me. I try to pay that forward through partnerships, working sessions, and speaking engagements with the small business community in the Dallas, Plano, and Allen area.
MomentumMakers USA Partnership
Partnering With MomentumMakers USA
I serve on the Board of MomentumMakers USA, an Allen, Texas-based community focused on equipping business owners with the tools, relationships, and operating knowledge to scale sustainably. Through MomentumMakers, I host working sessions for SMB owners — not lectures, not networking events, but structured conversations that leave participants with something they can use the next day.
If you are a business owner in the Dallas/Plano/Allen area and you want to be part of a community that takes operational excellence seriously, MomentumMakers is worth your time.
Working Session Series
The From Friction to Flow Session Series
A four-part working session series hosted through MomentumMakers USA. Each session focuses on one of the four pillars of a well-run SMB:
| Session | Title | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Do You Actually Know Your Numbers? | Financial visibility — the five things every owner must know |
| 2 | Where Is Your Leak? | Operations & systems — finding profit, time, and communication gaps |
| 3 | What Good Looks Like | Growth readiness — real examples of businesses that made the shift |
| 4 | From Friction to Flow | Bringing it all together — building the business that runs without you |
Each session is 75–90 minutes. Participants receive a working tool they can use the next day. Sessions are hosted at MomentumMakers USA events in the Allen/Plano area. For upcoming dates, contact Marlana Christopher at MomentumMakers USA or reach out directly below.
