PITTSBURGH – Building Bridges for Business debuted its new Coffee With...SM video series – another resource aimed at empowering and educating small business owners in Pittsburgh – on the organization’s YouTube channel.

On July 2, 2012 Dr Winslow Sargeant, Obama’s Chief Counsel of Advocacy for Small Business, video will be shared. Dr Sargeant, who represents small businesses on regulatory matters, discusses the important role of small business in our economy and how to grow your business in these challenging times.

“Coffee With... gives successful small business owners and political leaders a chance to share their thoughts in an informal setting,” said Linda Handley, founder, Building Bridges for Business. “It also gives the small business community of Pittsburgh a chance to ask questions and address issues that affect them with these individuals via social media and a chance to hear what leaders think about key issues.”
The video series – which is shot on location at Elements Contemporary Cuisine in downtown Pittsburgh – debuted in May, with further installments planned to be released throughout the summer.
