Downtown business owners, operators, and entrepreneurs are invited to join the Downtown Memphis Commission for the launch of Downtown Connect, a bi-monthly small business series created to share practical insight, tools, and resources to support businesses operating in Downtown Memphis.
Each session will focus on timely topics that impact daily operations, marketing, and customer engagement, while also creating space for learning, collaboration, and meaningful connection among Downtown business leaders.

The next session will be May 6, Vision to Velocity. Guest speaker Antwanette Crutcher, owner of Jasper Float Spa, will share insights on how small business owners can bridge the gap between their big-picture goals and the day-to-day financial realities of scaling.
Key Takeaways
Participants will learn:
- The Scalability Scorecard: A tool created to evaluate business pillars like operations, revenue, and infrastructure to pinpoint exactly where friction is holding them back
- The Rule of 3 Framework: A method for high-impact growth that helps leaders categorize tasks to eliminate low-ROI work, automate repetitive processes, and elevate high-value tasks
Every attendee will leave with a clear roadmap of how their financial data can be leveraged to drive their business forward.
