FAVOB

This is where it starts.
Conversations that turn into connections, and connections that turn into opportunity.

That’s what FAVOB is all about.

Some habits never die. 😅

“Not every event is worth your time.. this one is.

We’re bringing together women veterans who are building businesses, leading teams, and continuing to raise the standard after service.

This year, expect strong networking, a standout speaker, and a few surprises worth sticking around for.

Salute to Sisters in Service is back. Be in the room.

“Support veteran-owned businesses” sounds nice.

But here’s the truth:

Veterans don’t need support.
They need opportunity.

Because when given the opportunity they outperform.

Hire them because they’re capable.
Hire them because they deliver.

For those who’ve served, Memorial Day hits different. 🇺🇸

Today isn’t about us, it’s about the ones we served with who didn’t come home.

We remember them, we honor them, and we carry their legacy forward in everything we do.

Trish Murphy brings a veteran mindset into everything she builds: clear, focused, and built to execute.

Through Marketing Smarty Pants, that shows up in how she helps small business owners cut through the noise and focus on what actually drives results. From social media and design to video and email, it’s all rooted in strategy, not guesswork.

Because when you’ve led in high-stakes environments, you don’t waste time, or budget on things that don’t work.
