In a metropolis filled with newcomers desperate to make connections, a Charlotte startup discovered a easy technique to convey individuals collectively — by studying. From watercolor portray to small enterprise branding, SkillPop has helped hundreds of locals uncover new abilities and friendships by turning breweries, boutiques and low outlets into lecture rooms. What started as a handful of pop-up classes in 2015 has advanced right into a thriving enterprise that’s marking its 10-year anniversary and increasing as soon as once more.

In this episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast, The Ledger’s Tony Mecia talks with SkillPop founder and CEO Haley Bohon about how the corporate grew from a one-woman experiment right into a self-funded success. The dialog explores the challenges of entrepreneurship in Charlotte, the pandemic pivot that reshaped the corporate, and what SkillPop’s subsequent chapter says concerning the metropolis’s artistic power and urge for food for neighborhood. They talk about:

• How Charlotte’s wave of latest residents impressed a brand new sort of studying platform

• SkillPop’s early development and community-based enterprise mannequin

• How the corporate survived and reinvented itself in the course of the pandemic

• Trends in what individuals wish to be taught in 2025 — and why “phone-free” hobbies are again

• Charlotte’s evolving startup ecosystem and the way it compares with different Southern cities

• Entrepreneurial classes from a decade of constructing and rebuilding
