Some people come with a challenge they’re working through, others bring an idea they’re exploring, and many simply come to listen and learn from the conversation.
Whether you’re building a business, thinking about starting one, supporting entrepreneurs, or just curious about what’s happening in our local ecosystem, there’s always a seat at the table.
Coffee is on us.
Conversation is even better.

Are you building a side business, growing a passion project, or exploring network marketing alongside your main gig?
We’re gathering on the second Tuesday of each month for a facilitated, conversation-based evening designed to connect like-minded people who want to swap ideas, talk strategy, and encourage one another - without pitching, recruiting, or pressure.
I’ve Got an Idea… Now What?
Coming April 18
Have an idea you keep coming back to — but you’re not sure what to do with it?a two-hour Discovery workshop designed for people at the very early stages of considering a business, side venture, or entrepreneurial project.

This series is designed for business owners, managers, and leaders who recognize that caring for themselves is not a luxury, it’s a responsibility. Clear thinking, steady leadership, resilience, and purpose don’t happen by accident. They require intention.
Each first Monday of the month, we’ll gather from 10:00 - 11:00 AM for a guided conversation focused on tending to the human side of leadership - the mindset, habits, and inner alignment that make it possible to lead well over the long haul.
Is this really all there is?
As part of our Encore Entrepreneurship initiative, The Wheelhouse is offering a weekly, conversation-centered series exploring how purpose, identity, and possibility evolve across every stage of life.
Led by Kirsten Farris, this thoughtful gathering is for those sensing a quiet nudge toward something more, whether that’s a new business idea, a portfolio career, or a more intentional next chapter.

Discover Our Story
where Georgians with great ideas are identified, connected, and empowered to succeed
In Madison, Georgia, an entrepreneur with economic development experience and a real estate closer started meeting to discuss business, investing, and how they could make a difference in their community.
Their conversations soon became a shared mission: “doing well by doing good.” They believed that by supporting local entrepreneurs, they could help grow successful businesses in their own backyard—and they each knew mentors who could help make that happen.
Around the same time, a serial entrepreneur and a financial expert were having similar talks in another place. They believed in the power of sharing their experience and helping others bring great ideas to life.
Eventually, these two groups crossed paths, and the spark for The Madison Wheelhouse was lit.
Since then, other passionate leaders have joined the effort, all committed to boosting the local economy.
The team already connects with partners like Georgia Tech, the University of Georgia, Morgan County High School’s Career Academy, technical colleges, and local government leaders.
The Madison Wheelhouse is all about helping new ideas grow into real businesses—and giving existing businesses the tools to thrive, especially in rural Georgia. With mentorship, training, and collaboration, the Wheelhouse is ready to empower the next generation of innovators.
We believe Madison is the perfect place to launch something this special. And we’d love for you to join us in cheering on—and supporting—the future of entrepreneurship in Georgia
