Hiya, Chloé here. In eight years of reporting on businesses in Chattanooga, there are a few adages I hear repeated pretty consistently. One is that people in Chattanooga genuinely want to support others. 👍

I’ve interviewed countless entrepreneurs + small business owners who came to Chattanooga to launch ventures and were impressed by the accessibility to resources and mentors.

But we all have a lot going on and connecting with the best person can be a challenge.

So, answer me this — if you could sit down with one local leader — in any industry — who would it be, and what would you ask? 🙋

Maybe you’ve experienced a career setback + you’re wondering how others have overcome challenges or failures. Maybe you’re not thrilled with your day job but feel stuck + could use some outside perspective.

Maybe you’re bootstrapping your biz + and need tips on making the most out of your limited budget. Or maybe you just want to hear the best general advice from someone in your industry.

If you’re reading this as an established leader who is happy to share your knowledge, let us know.

Our plan is to take the best reader-submitted questions + find the best local expert to answer them.
