Owner Answers · Route 24 edition · Brockton to Swansea

Bring your hardest business question to lunch. Leave with the answer.

Once a month, a small room of local business owners puts real questions to a panel of experts who have solved them before. Straight answers, good food, and nobody selling to you.

Save me a seat at the pilot How it works
  • 90minutes over lunch
  • 3local experts on the panel
  • 10-12owners at the pilot
  • 0sales pitches

You run the business. Who do you ask?

Your team looks to you for answers. Vendors want to sell you something. Google gives you ten opinions. Owner Answers is the table where you get a straight answer from someone who has been there.

  • "Should I let my team use AI, and what could go wrong?"
  • "How do I keep good people without blowing up payroll?"
  • "Cash is tight every quarter. What are other owners doing?"
  • "Am I priced too low? How would I even know?"
  • "What happens to my business if I want out in five years?"
  • "Am I one phishing email away from a disaster?"

Examples of the kinds of questions owners bring. You send yours when you sign up.

What you walk away with

Answers to your question

Bring your question, or send it ahead. The panel answers it in the room, in plain words, with what actually worked for them.

Owners who get it

Sit with other owners and senior leaders from your area. In the table round, each owner names one challenge and the room helps.

The right expert, only if you want one

Not another pitch dinner

The usual "free lunch"

  • A speaker with slides and an offer at the end
  • A room full of vendors working the crowd
  • Follow-up calls you never asked for

Owner Answers

  • The panel answers your questions. No slides.
  • Owners and senior leaders only. Experts attend as panelists or sponsors.
  • No contact after the lunch unless you ask for it
  • One 5-minute sponsor story, told as a lesson, not an offer

How the 90 minutes go

  1. 11:45Arrive, eat, meet other owners
  2. 12:05Welcome and a quick "what's new this month"
  3. 12:10Panel Q&A, 40 minutes. Three local experts answer the questions owners sent in, plus live ones.
  4. 12:50Sponsor story, 5 minutes
  5. 12:55Table round. Each owner names one challenge, and the panel says who can help.
  6. 1:10Ask-to-connect cards and the next date. Back to work by 1:15.

One theme a month, picked from what owners tell us they want: hiring, cash flow, AI, cyber risk, exit planning, taxes or insurance.

Who is on the panel

Three local experts each month, drawn from the professions owners lean on most. Panelists rotate, and each profession has one seat at a time.

  • Accounting and taxes
  • Banking and lending
  • Business law
  • Insurance
  • Wealth and exit planning
  • Payroll and HR
  • Real estate
  • IT, AI and cyber security
