Carnegie Hall | 401 Monmouth St | Newport, KY
Space is limited. Registration is intended for founders, owners, and qualifying entrepreneurial leaders.
MOMENTUM IN 20 SECONDS
Clarity
See the economic signals most likely to shape small and mid-sized businesses over the next 12-24 months.
Perspective
Translate those signals into better decisions about hiring, pricing, cash flow, investment, and growth.
Connection
Meet local founders who carry the same responsibility you do—and value candid conversation over surface-level networking.
WHY MOMENTUM
You are expected to plan confidently in an economy that refuses to sit still.
Your team wants direction. Your customers want certainty. Your bank, partners, and family all expect you to know what comes next.
But inflation, interest rates, labor pressure, policy shifts, and changing demand are pulling in different directions—and the headlines rarely tell you what any of it means for a company like yours.
Momentum is designed to replace noise with perspective. In one focused evening, you will hear what the data is really saying, what may be coming next, and how other owners are thinking about the decisions ahead.
MEET YOUR SPEAKER
WHERE IS THE ECONOMY HEADED?
Rob Michel will tell you straight.
Rob does not talk like an academic. He translates the economic trends that actually move small and mid-sized businesses into plain, useful language—what may be coming over the next 12-24 months, and what it means for how you plan, hire, invest, and grow.
WHAT ATENDEES WILL GAIN
â– The economic indicators that matter most to owner-led businesses—and which headlines can safely be ignored.
â– Where pressure and opportunity may emerge over the next 12–24 months.
â– Practical questions to pressure-test hiring, pricing, capital, and growth plans.
â– New relationships with experienced local founders who understand the weight of leading a company.

EO IS NOT ANOTHER NETWORKING GROUP
Momentum is hosted by the Cincinnati Chapter of Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO Cincinnati)—a community of entrepreneurs committed to learning from one another, growing through shared experience, and building lives that are bigger than their businesses.
01 / COMMUNITY
Trusted community
EO is built around peer relationships, not transactions. The value comes from honest conversation with owners who understand the decisions, pressure, and isolation that can come with leading a growing company.
02 / EXPERIENCE
Experience instead of advice
EO is built around peer relationships, not transactions. The value comes from honest conversation with owners who understand the decisions, pressure, and isolation that can come with leading a growing company.
03 / LEADERSHIP
Learning that changes how you lead
From local speakers and confidential Forum groups to regional and global experiences, EO creates access to ideas, people, and perspectives that are difficult to find anywhere else.
EO BY THE NUMBERS
LEARN FROM ENTREPRENEURS WHO’VE BEEN THERE
EO members operate businesses of meaningful scale, with average member revenue exceeding $4 million. Connect and compare notes with founders who have navigated many of the growth, leadership, and operational challenges you may be facing today.

TESTIMONIALS
My practice was thriving, but I wanted to grow with intention. The accountability groups were transformational. Having other founders and a coach hold me accountable gave me the focus and structure I needed.
