GettingFED™ with Go-To-Guy
GettingFED™ w/Go-To-Guy is about nourishing the minds of federal contracting stakeholders so they are better empowered to take action and achieve results. It's an extension of conversations we facilitate regularly as The American Small Business Coalition, through activities associated with our Ethical Stalking for Government Contractors® curriculum. During programs such as Ethical Stalking for Government Contractors® Bootcamp, the Wingman SOARR™ Mastermind, and 7 Habits for Winning in Federal Contracting™, we help novice and the most experienced industry leaders and professionals develop their tradecraft. Our objectives are helping them to efficiently and intentionally engage with buyers, customers, partners, and stakeholders to find and win contracting and subcontracting opportunities that help U.S. Government agencies improve their performance, and achieve their objectives.

Army HRC Conversation with Industry Update w/Mike Carroll
Send a text to GettingFED with Go-To-Guy
“A meeting of partners designed to improve acquisition outcomes for the Fort Knox Community.” That’s the information on the welcome packet I received as one of the presenters/panelists, for the April 11th event, and it seems so simple, right? That’s until you realize the impact of the host organizations, U.S. Army Human Resources Command (HRC), and U.S. Army Recruiting Command (USAREC). Together, they touch new entrants and re-entrants to military service, the families of our Soldiers, retirees, and veterans. This is why opportunities like the Conversation with Industry are so important. I sat down with with Army HRC Chief of Acquisition and Procurement, Mike Carroll, for an update about the 2024 Conversation with Industry. Time to get fed!
NOTE: To get access to a recording of the livestream from 2024 CWI, reach out to Mike or Kris Saling of the USAREC Innovation Directorate for details.

Are you nourished?
Being nourished means having what you need to achieve growth, sustain health, and generally be in good condition, and that's why I host this program.
Doing business with the U.S. Government is an opportunity that brings great rewards but can also present severe consequences for buyers and sellers. What many see as a viable business opportunity is directly tied to the well-being and security of our Nation.
We'll talk about how to engage, and why. We'll hear from experts from Government and from Industry sharing what they see, and what you should know. In the end, you will have quality insights to leverage as you make your decisions.
