Wisdom & Wins Wednesday for Entrepreneurs & Small Business Owners

About this event

Registration is a MUST in advance https://greatcareers.org/events-calendar/wisdom-wins-wednesday-dec9/ so we know how many spare chairs to bring beyond what the restaurant offers. This is also a fundraiser, and the 501(c)3 nonprofit will earn a percentage of your purchases, so please mention you are supporting Great Careers Network .

Oct 14 | Nov 11 | Dec 9 - 2nd Wednesday in 2026 at Goodness Bowls , 5 Paoli Plaza, Paoli (on the other side of the Paoli Train Station bridge), with informal networking and breakfast ordering from 8:20-8:50 and meeting from 8:50-10 AM. Download the Toast app to streamline your order in advance (as it may take 15 minutes or more).

Why We’re Here - inclusive - everyone is welcome - no business category - it’s free - no attendance requirements - but please support the restaurant, and they will donate to the Great Careers Network nonprofit (if you mention it), so why not get a salad or wrap to go for lunch while you are here?
