About this event

Entrepreneurship is not for everyone. Join us in reflecting on the experience. Three Entrepreneurs come to share their personal stories. They will normalize, inspire, and ignite you in your entrepreneurial journey. The Entrepreneur Experience panelist are Mellissa Tong, Chanda Hopkins, Owon Johnso, Nate Saucier, Joseph Daidone.

Check out the bios of the Entrepreneurs for October.

Mellissa Tong is a three-time #1 Best Selling Author on Amazon, Award-winning Storyteller, and Founder/CCO of a Creative Marketing and Content Production Company, DuckPunk Productions, Inc. At DuckPunk, Ms. Tong works with businesses to build their brand, drive sales and win more customers. Her work includes branding and marketing, storytelling training, TV commercials and branded content. Some of her clients have seen sales increase up to 400%.


Chanda Hopkins is a remarkably talented artist who has made a significant impact in various artistic domains. Her versatility and creativity shine through her photography, artwork, fashion, and commitment to sustainability.


LaKesha Owon Johnson is a remarkable individual who wears many hats and thrives in multiple domains. Born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Owon has deep roots in her community, and her passion for serving others shines through in everything she does.

Owon's full-time role at Tulsa Remote allows her to contribute to the development and growth of her beloved city. Owon is a creative entrepreneur with a culinary venture of her own, The Dainty Fig, her charcuterie catering company. She is also an emerging Midwife, on track to complete an achievement that will make her the first practicing midwife of African descent in Tulsa.


Nate Saucier started building websites for fun 20 years ago. He began his online marketing business 8 years ago because he saw a need for assistance with marketing. Most people who got into business to serve others would rather spend time and energy in their zone of genius rather than on marketing.

So he empowers coaches, healers, spiritual leaders, and therapists by building them beautiful websites so they can look professional, gain more ideal clients, and increase their revenue.

His passions are building professional websites and making them ADA compliant - accessible to the disabled. He is on a mission to help make all websites fully inclusive of those differently abled.


Joseph Daidone Positioned alongside a trusted growth partner to millions of everyday entrepreneurs.

JoeUSA.com is part of the world’s largest services platform for entrepreneurs around the globe. On a dedicated mission to empower our worldwide community of 20+ million customers — and entrepreneurs everywhere — by giving them all the help and tools they need to grow online.
