🎤 EVENT SPOTLIGHT: Umpqua GrowthTalks Pitch Night by Umpqua Economic Development Partnership

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to get on stage and pitch your business?

We recently got an inside look at Pitch Night, an awesome local opportunity that gives Douglas County entrepreneurs the chance to share their businesses, tell their stories, and compete for funding to help them grow.

Business owners get five minutes to pitch what they've built, where they're headed, and what an investment could help them accomplish.

And yes, I got to experience this one firsthand. The Roseburg Plug walked away with *3rd place!* 🎉

But the competition is only part of what makes this event special. It's a chance to discover local businesses, meet the people behind them, make connections, and see some of the incredible things being built right here in our community.

Check out our look at Pitch Night, and if you're building a business of your own, maybe we'll see you on that stage next time. 👀

Well… we did it! 🎉

The Roseburg Plug took 3rd place at Pitch Night tonight!

Walking into this, I knew the Roseburg Plug was a little different, and trying to explain everything we’re building in just five minutes was definitely a challenge. 😂

But tonight I got the opportunity to stand in front of our community and share why we do what we do, where we’re headed, and why I believe so strongly that every great local business deserves the chance to be seen.

And apparently, they liked what they heard!

We walked away with 3rd place and $500 to put right back into growing the Roseburg Plug.

More than anything, I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who has supported this crazy idea, from the businesses that trust us, to our sponsors, community partners, friends, and everyone who shares, comments, watches, or tells somebody about what we’re doing.

We’re just getting started.

I don’t just want to support local. I want to help build it. 💚

Thank you, Douglas County. ❤️

And an extra big thank you to our sponsors 💚

Sometimes all it takes is a little inspiration to see what's been around you the whole time.

Maybe you've been waiting for the right time.

Waiting until you're ready. Until you have enough money. Enough experience. Enough confidence. Or until someone tells you it's a good idea.

Build your community. Follow your dreams. Love where you live.

People. Places. Stories.

Thank you for sharing your stories!

This week on The Outlet .. Misty Gilbert of Your Home Team ! 🏡

This week on The Outlet… 🏡

We’re sitting down with Misty Gilbert of Your Home Team, a RE/MAX Integrity company.

This conversation is about more than buying and selling houses.

Misty talks about what it means to help people through one of the biggest transitions of their lives, the emotion behind finding the right home, and why real estate is really about people, community, and helping someone step into their next chapter.

We also talk about what it means to love where you live, not just the house itself, but the neighborhood, the lifestyle, the rivers, the coast, the mountains, the local businesses, and all the little things that make Douglas County feel like home.

Whether you’re thinking about buying, selling, relocating, or just rediscovering why this area is so special, this is a great conversation to tune into.

📻 Saturday @ 8AM
📡 99.7 & 90.5 FM KQUA

Tune in this Saturday morning and hear Misty’s story.

Okay, this turned out SO good. 🔥

Huge shoutout to Dan at Spearheaders Leather Goods for making this custom leather table runner for The Roseburg Plug!

I needed something for our table at Pitch Night, and Dan absolutely knocked it out of the park!

One of my favorite parts of doing what we do is getting to work with talented people right here in our community, and this is a perfect example.

Dan, thank you, man. I seriously appreciate you putting this together for us. 🙌

And if you haven’t checked out Spearheaders Leather yet, you should. This guy does some beautiful work.
