  • Reviving the Dayton Arcade: an insider’s look at how the long-awaited transformation went from boarded-up to buzzing mixed-use landmark.

  • Building entrepreneurial community: how Launch Dayton, a free conference and resource network, helps small business owners thrive.

  • Coworking at The Hub: why local solopreneurs, remote workers, and writers are flocking to Dayton’s open-access coworking and meeting spaces.

  • Authentic influence: the power of truthful social-media storytelling and why “real” recommendations matter.

  • Theatre passion: balancing stage management gigs (including 15 years with Dayton Gay Men’s Chorus) with her role as Launch Dayton brand voice.

  • Why Dayton rocks: Sarah’s rallying cry for the city’s vibrant arts scene, from community theatre to indie restaurants and beyond.
