Endeavor Announces Fall Collaborators & Cocktails Events with Superstar Local Entrepreneurs

Endeavor Workspaces welcomes two local entrepreneur duos, Ryan Heafy and Ryan Johnston of 6AM City and Mary Walsh and Jac Oliver of Swamp Rabbit Café for two special Collaborators & Cocktails events on October 1st and November 14th. Limited tickets are now available with a discount to attend both thanks to Endeavor’s co-hosts AFL and Greenville Federal Credit Union.

6AM City CEO Johnston’s and COO Heafy’s “insider conversation” on Tuesday, October 1st promises to be especially fascinating for founders and the start-up/venture capital community, marketers, collaborative colleagues and company leaders looking for insight and lessons. Rather than a formal presentation, Johnston and Heafy will ask and answer each other’s questions in the moment – resulting in an especially candid and insightful program. 

Johnston and Heafy founded 6AM City in 2016 with just GVLtoday, and is now in 26+ markets across the country, with 1.5 million subscribers and more than 125 employees. It is the fastest-growing local daily newsletter company in the United States, with more big things on the horizon. Johnston and Heafy will set the pace in this segment, discuss growth through change, and share their insights into inventing a whole new way of doing business.

On Thursday, November 14th, Swamp Rabbit Café founders and co-owners Mary Walsh and Jac Oliver will allow event attendees to eavesdrop on two friends as they discuss growing their business from a small grocery shop 13 years ago, to now a vibrant multi-line business with a community of passionate fans and advocates. Just as all food has a story, Walsh and Oliver’s story of nurturing a community-driven business is full of highlights, challenges, lessons – and a lot of heart.

6AM City’s session will be a highlight for GVLtoday fans, entrepreneurs and anyone in the startup/venture capitalist ecosystem. Swamp Rabbit fans will turn out to see Walsh and Oliver – bringing health-focused shoppers, cyclists, community volunteers and leaders, and people who simply love the culture Swamp Rabbit Café has built.
