If you’ve been following along lately, you know this year has been one of radical shifts for me—personally and professionally. I’ve made bold moves, closed chapters, and opened new doors. And now, I’m finally ready to share something that’s been brewing in my heart (and my ridiculously overactive entrepreneurial brain) for a while now…
✨ Two brand-new signature events are coming to Wichmann & Co in 2026.
And friends—they’re going to be epic.
Let me introduce you to the two flagship experiences that will set the tone for our growing community of dreamers, doers, speakers, and small business owners:
🔥 IGNITE Entrepreneur 2026
Theme: Fuel The Vision
📍February 2026 | In-Person + Simulcasted Online
This is not just another business seminar. This is your spark.
IGNITE is our high-energy, immersive leadership and branding experience built for entrepreneurs, speakers, and leaders who are ready to stop playing small and start showing up boldly.
Inspired by the global phenomenon of Leadercast, this event will bring together powerhouse speakers to share lessons on leadership, entrepreneurship, purpose, and personal transformation. Each talk will be followed by a live Q&A session—open to both in-person and online attendees—so the learning doesn’t stop when the mic drops.
Joining us in person in the Dallas, TX area?
Expect:
- Connection and networking opportunities
- Local vendors and curated business resources
- Light refreshments and that signature Wichmann & Co vibe
Not in Texas?
No problem. Join us from anywhere in the world via our live virtual experience. This is your chance to tune in, take notes, and walk away recharged—wherever you are.
🤠 Entrepreneur Saloon
Theme: High Stakes & Big Dreams
📍Garland • Fort Worth • Denton | Summer–Fall 2026
Now let’s talk about the gritty, gutsy, real-life side of entrepreneurship—the part we don’t always post about.
That’s where Entrepreneur Saloon comes in.
Think TEDx, but make it small business style.
The Entrepreneur Saloon is a storytelling experience where business owners, creatives, and changemakers will take the stage to share the real stories behind their brand—the heart, the hustle, the highs and lows, the pivot points.
Each presentation will be 20 minutes. Just enough time to make you think, laugh, cry, or finally get what your next move should be.
And here’s the best part:
You don’t need to be famous. You don’t need a million followers. You just need a story worth telling.
Applications to speak at the Saloon will open in late 2025 once venues and dates are locked in. So whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur or a side hustler with a mission, I want to hear your story.
Why These Events Matter
These aren’t just events. They’re movements.
They’re safe, bold, encouraging spaces where people like you—people like us—get to grow, connect, and be seen.
Entrepreneurship can be lonely. But it doesn’t have to be.
Both IGNITE and Entrepreneur Saloon are part of my mission to help more people step into the business—and life—they dream about. My own journey has been full of unexpected turns (and let’s be real—some total faceplants), but one thing has always carried me through: community.
So if you’re ready to fuel your vision, if you’ve got a message burning in your bones, or if you just want to be in a room where big ideas are born—get ready.
2026 is the year we stop waiting and start building boldly.
I’ll be right there with you.
Let’s go make some magic.
