Ep. 1 - The Energy Bus

We had a whole other plan for the first episode of Centered on Business...then things changed. But we've adapted and come up with something for our first episode that we think you'll enjoy.

The Miller Business Center is a regional business center on Long Island whose mission is to support local businesses, entrepreneurs, non-profits, job seekers, and more...and we do this in several ways. As part of the Middle Country Public Library, research is an important aspect of what we do. We have a wide variety of business resources that can help find data for business or marketing plans, gather competitive intelligence, and even find potential customers. 

The Miller Business Center also offers educational programs based on the needs of the business community. The topics of these programs range from social media to branding to Excel to web design. And each program starts with time for attendees to network with each other. Through experience we know that meeting new people and networking with other professionals is a great way to spread the word about you and your business. Networking before programs is just one way we help the community to do this.

We also offer two trade shows a year: Strictly Business is a business-to-business event which features over 90 local business and over 800 attendees. We feature more than 80 Long Island women entrepreneurs at the Women's EXPO every fall welcoming more than 2,500 attendees to shop their beautiful products.

We encourage you to reach out if you would like to learn more about what we do for Long Island business. Visit our website at www.millerbusinesscenter.org!

For this episode, we remotely recorded our first business book discussion highlighting the best-seller, The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon. We hope you enjoy the talk!

Elizabeth Malafi is the Coordinator of the Miller Business Center. Alex Blend and Sal DiVincenzo are Business Librarians at the Center.
