DBL Law is partnering with community organizations to launch a morning coffee series titled “Made It.” The series will be held every other month at 8:45 am at the new DBL Law Covington office.

Branded as “a fresh, new way to start your day,” each Made It event will feature a relaxed discussion about business ownership from the perspective of an emerging business owner and an established business owner.

“There are so many remarkable stories to be told,” said Loren Wolff, DBL Law Economic Development partner. “We’re thrilled to invite the public into our new Covington space to network and to have an opportunity to gain insight on resources available to businesses.”

The Made It series is not just a speaking event – it’s an opportunity to connect with other business owners, community leaders, and service providers, so it will include plenty of networking time before and after the speakers.

The agenda is as follows:

• 8:45-9:15 a.m. Coffee and Networking

• 9:15-9:45 a.m. Featured Speakers

• 9:45-10:15 a.m. Continued Networking

The kick-off Made It Series event will be on March 24. Featured speakers are Shannon Glover and Ron Washington.

Lifelong Covington resident Shannon Glover is always looking to make her customers’ experience “legendary”.

Inspired by her mother’s passion for cooking and the chef’s educational experience at Le Cordon Bleu, her business Legendary Eatz is a remix of classic meals fully prepared to have conveniently at home. She takes special care to ensure local, healthier ingredients based on a customer’s lifestyles and needs. She is currently working on expanding this personalization into a natural skincare brand.

After retiring from law enforcement in 2005, Covington Mayor Pro-Tem/Commissioner Ron Washington became a pioneer in the fight against heroin and other opioid addiction, founding NKY Med Clinic.

The Clinic, which Washington sold in 2016, is one of the largest drug treatment centers in Kentucky. It has helped thousands of people in recovery by reducing or eliminating their dependence on heroin and other drugs.

Partnering with DBL Law on the series are Covington Business Council and Renaissance Covington. Registration is free but required at https://www.dbllaw.com/event/made-it-series/
