Greg Connolly of Trifecta next to quote "With almost twenty years in the health and fitness industry, starting with his first job at a local gym when he was fifteen years old, Greg has seen many diets, fads, and exercise systems come and go. With all of those years in the industry, he has seen one thing above all determine someone's body type - how they eat. With that in mind, he partnered up with his sister Elizabeth Connolly to launch Trifecta."

Greg Connolly, Trifecta

Tina Reynolds of Uptown Studios Inc next to quote "Our main launch started just before COVID hit and we all had to punt so hard. Their team was excellent at the many pivots that we have had to make over the past year and now we are in our expansion mode and right during COVID still, but we are strong and growing within our community"

Steven Walker of Fast Break Tech next to quote “The opportunity of Economic Gardening 2.0 took our FastBreak team to the next level. We had so many services to offer our clients but no simple way to share... EG 2.0 funding assisted us with a website refresh, professional videos and headshots to present the "wow" factor for new visitors. We hired a part time client liaison for additional customer service follow-ups. We added training for our technicians. Kenny and the team were super helpful, enthusiastic and supportive the entire journey.“

$Roshaun Davis of Unseen Heroes next to quote “The Economic Gardening 2.0 program has been a transformative resource, equipping our business with the tools, insights, and funding needed to drive strategic growth and regional impact. Working with Berkeley Strategy Advisors was invaluable—they provided tailored guidance that … helped our event agency… pivot to a more resilient and scalable model. The national market research provided by the National Center for Economic Gardening identified untapped opportunities. [With ] the program’s funding [we made] key investments that fundamentally changed our trajectory… we hired a fractional CFO, engaged expert consultants to align our goals with emerging opportunities, and invested in cutting-edge tools to enhance our competitive edge. This program was not only a turning point for our business but also a catalyst for broader regional impact. For any local business committed to scaling strategically while driving community and economic development, the Economic Gardening 2.0 program is an unparalleled resource for success.“$
