Explore the EO Day Pass Experience in Baltimore

On November 13, 2025, the Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) Baltimore Chapter welcomes local business leaders to the EO Day Pass + EOx Speaker Series. This unique event offers insights into the resilience and courage required in entrepreneurship, providing attendees with stories that blend personal challenges with leadership lessons.

Insights and Inspiration from Brave Entrepreneurs

Featured speakers at the event include Mickie Kennedy, founder of eReleases, and Gina Forringer, founder of Environmental Research Group. Their personal narratives promise to resonate with many business founders in attendance. Kennedy's own encounter with prostate cancer while managing a business showcases the delicate balance between health and entrepreneurship. "When your body breaks down, your creativity doesn't have to," he emphasizes, using his experience to fuel his creativity and engagement with employees: "Being vulnerable with my team wasn't weakness—it was the doorway to deeper trust."

Gina Forringer, on the other hand, sheds light on the often-overlooked aspects of business mergers. She reflects on her recent company acquisition, narrating how blending cultures can be as complex as legal negotiations. "You're not just merging operations—you're rewriting identity," she states, emphasizing the importance of addressing the cultural challenges that come with such transitions.

Shannon Roberts, Learning Chair for EO Baltimore, explains that the organization builds its experience around genuine, behind-the-scenes stories from entrepreneurs. Attendees will not only hear about success but also about the struggles faced along the way, a unique proposition for business leaders seeking support and camaraderie.
