 <\/p>\n

On today\u2019s podcast, we have Haley Bohon<\/a>, Founder and CEO of SkillPop<\/a>.\u00a0 I\u2019ve known about SkillPop since nearly its inception but have never had the opportunity to sit down with Haley and talk about the business.\u00a0 For those of you who don\u2019t know, SkillPop is a company facilitating \u2018pop-up classes in your community\u2019.\u00a0 They advertise that it\u2019s for \u2018creators, dreamers and lifelong learners\u2019.<\/p>\n

I think you can make the case it\u2019s for anyone who wants to continue to grow.<\/p>\n

And speaking of growth, SkillPop has grown tremendously since its first class.\u00a0 They now offer classes in Atlanta, Charlotte, Greenville, Lake Norman, Nashville and Raleigh.<\/p>\n

Today, we wanted to learn more about this great company, hear Haley\u2019s story and the potential paths forward straight from Haley.\u00a0 The best thing about doing these podcasts with entrepreneurs \u2013 at least from my perspective \u2013 is you get a good sense of the quality of the entrepreneur in Charlotte.\u00a0 Haley is one of many entrepreneurs who makes you feel proud to be part of the ecosystem.\u00a0 She knows her business very well and while I don\u2019t want to say she held back \u2013 we dove into lots of good topics \u2013 you know she\u2019s got more to show us in the coming years.<\/p>\n

So that is where we tried to stay in this podcast.\u00a0 How has Haley and the business grown over the years?\u00a0 What were some of the key milestones and what have bee some of the important moments in the business?\u00a0 In exploring these topics we also get to ask Haley to give us glimpses into what it has taken to build this business.<\/p>\n

We also have a little fun with her.\u00a0 It\u2019s always great interviewing a fellow NC State Alum and asking them about the best university in the state.\u00a0 Or talking with her about her Techstars experience in Austin only to quickly dive into a discussion on the best BBQ.<\/p>\n

Haley and SkillPop are doing great things.\u00a0 Hopefully you listen to this podcast and realize what an asset she is to our community.\u00a0 Then you go sign up for a class, learn a new skill and meet some other great folks in Charlotte.<\/p>\n

You’ll notice a new intro\/exit song and format going forward.\u00a0 As a lifelong Grateful Dead fan, I thought it was beyond time to incorporate some personality into the podcast.\u00a0 The verse is from Althea and the words fit the podcast.<\/p>\n
