As Co-Director of Startup Grind Lansing, Julie connects founders and entrepreneurs to the resources they need to launch and grow. As a consultant and coach, she has worked with a number of startups, helping to secure tens of thousands in funding to expand sales nationally and globally.
Her own path took her from an Emmy award-winning career as an Executive Producer in TV news to small business owner and successful entrepreneur, named one of Lansing’s “10 Over the Next Ten” by the Chamber of Commerce in 2017.
Julie launched her own agency full-time in 2018, growing mConnexions to six figures within six months.
During the Pandemic, she continued to scale her agency while locking arms with other entrepreneurs to help them weather the economic storm. Her Facebook live series, “Expert Connexions” became so popular that it launched as a TV show on the Lansing ABC station, where it aired following Good Morning America every Monday for a full year before going digital in 2022.
You can also catch Julie hosting a podcast for women, called Think Tank of Three, and leading the Legal Marketing Association’s Voices & Strategies digital content hub, as co-editor.
Entrepreneur. Teacher. Web Pro.
With years of experience working at the intersection of software development, digital marketing, process automation, and corporate management, Jesse Flores has helped people who run startups, small businesses, non-profits, and corporations use technology to do more, with less.
As a business-minded technophile with a liberal arts education, he loves to find ways to use software to make organizations more efficient...without sacrificing the human element. That background led him to create SuperWebPros, an unlimited web design service that helps you ditch your janky DIY website & never-get-back-to-you web guy for a Web Pro committed to helping you keep pace with the Internet - affordably.
An avid reader with a lust for learning and mind for creating systems, he's often able to find creative, technologically driven solutions that grow sales - and profits.
Yet, he loves working with people and enjoys creating connections that yield fruit - both personally and economically. So, reach out, connect, and say "hi." Let's see how we can work together.
