Ginger and Eric founded Next Mile to create the kind of community they didn’t see elsewhere – one where business owners and leaders could engage in real conversations, learn from trusted experts, and build relationships rooted in trust over transactions. It’s a place for growth that feels grounded, not performative.  A community built on depth, not hype.
