Anahata Marketing works with clients on a heartfelt mission to find what’s meaningful to their audiences and craft messages and strategies that enable them to resonate with and engage with customers so they become brand evangelists. The team is made up of people people — they love to uncover what motivates others and moves them to action, and do so with an approach of seeking first to understand, and then to spark curiosity and conversation.

She’s taking this passion to the Phoenix Business RadioX airwaves later this month as the host of the new show Culture Crush Rx.

ITEN WIRED Radio Ep. 6-2018: 1 Million Cups

00:00 /

ABOUT 1 MILLION CUPS
Based on the notion that entrepreneurs discover solutions and engage with their communities over a million cups of coffee, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation developed 1 Million Cups in 2012—a free program designed to educate, engage and inspire entrepreneurs around the country. Through the power of volunteers, 1 Million Cups has grown to more than 180 communities.

As a program of the Kauffman Foundation, 1 Million Cups works with entrepreneurs, empowering them with the tools and resources to break down barriers that stand in the way of starting and growing their businesses. Mr. Kauffman believed it was a fundamental right for anyone who had a big idea to be able to bring it to life—and we’re here to fulfill that mission.

OUR CULTURE
Diversity, equity and inclusion are key to the success of our programs. Nationwide, 1 Million Cups communities aim to present an inclusive and supportive front door to their local entrepreneurial ecosystems. These qualities are essential for 1MC to fulfill its mission to educate, engage and connect entrepreneurs with their communities. And they are too essential to leave to chance as the number of 1MC communities continues to grow.

ABOUT THE KAUFFMAN FOUNDATION
Founded by Ewing Marion Kauffman, the Foundation is driven to provide uncommon ways to create opportunities and connect people to the tools they need to achieve success, change their futures and give back to their communities. We believe that if you have an idea, you have a fundamental right to start a business to make it a reality.

We also believe that opportunity lies in the fields of education and entrepreneurship. Our team is based in Kansas City and made up of connectors and doers who dream big, solve problems with the communities we serve and take calculated risks to drive results.

Manna can’t meet the needs of the hungry in our community without a new facility. The April 2014 flood destroyed our equipment and food. Our work cannot continue effectively in these conditions. We need your help to raise the $1 million needed to make our new facility the solution we know it can be. We can only move those in need from hunger to hope with your support.

Tell me how I can help make it possible

Want to help fight hunger in our community?

Help us provide your neighbors healthy food options. Manna is the only pantry in the region packing grocery bags using USDA Standards for a Healthy Diet. Every month with your help we provide 26,414 meals for 938 families in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. Every day we see areas where we can have a greater impact. We have to reach the needs of more children, senior citizens and even military in our area.
