November 2025 | Issue 11

This month, we honor the men and women who have worn the uniform and now carry their discipline, resilience, and leadership into the world of entrepreneurship. From Service to Start-up: Sacramento’s Veteran Entrepreneurs shines a light on those who have transformed their military experience into business success, proving that service to country can also lay the foundation for service to community. Their journeys remind us that true entrepreneurship is not only about building companies, but also about building purpose.

We also celebrate ethical leadership in our region with the upcoming BBB Torch Awards on November 6th. These awards highlight organizations that uphold integrity, trust, and accountability—qualities that define not just good business, but lasting impact. In a time when transparency matters more than ever, we are proud to recognize those who set the standard.

As the year draws toward its close, November invites us to reflect on gratitude, service, and the values that shape both our businesses and our lives. Whether you find inspiration in the stories of veteran entrepreneurs, encouragement in the commitment of ethical leaders, or motivation to finish the year strong, I hope this issue brings you both perspective and momentum.
