We're gonna be offering a consolidated version of a very popular curriculum called 'Boots to Business' called 'Re-Boot'"

Over the course of 5 lunch-and-learn meetings, veterans interested in starting their own business will get advice on overcoming some of the initial obstacles to setting up shop.
