Margaret Bernstein

Margaret Bernstein HeadshotDad Storybooks LLC

Publishing

Margaret Bernstein is a Cleveland-based journalist who has won a wide array of awards for her writing and commitment to her community.

How did the entrepreneurial track at the Center for Entrepreneurs help you with your business?

As a result of taking the Foundation track, I created my LLC, developed a relationship with the PNC banker I met via the class and established a new business banking account, wrote my first business plan and hired a videographer to create social media reels. During the process of writing my business plan, I decided the time was right to add a new product to my line of "Dad Storybooks" — an activity book for dads and kids to complete together. The training I received through the Foundation track helped me successfully pitch the book to sponsors, and the Center for Entrepreneurs even helped me win a $1,000 grant from the Burton D. Morgan Foundation that will go toward my costs for illustration and design. The support that the center provides to program graduates is truly amazing.

How did the entrepreneurial track at the Center for Entrepreneurs help you with your business?

Without the entrepreneurial track, I would still be stuck in the beginning, second-guessing my every move. The track offered a framework I could use over and over again for ideation, planning, research and execution. It's been a limitless value for me in launching and running my business.

Ben Holbert HeadshotHolbert Media Group

Media industry

Holbert Media Group LLC is a dynamic, full-service media firm led by an Emmy Award-winning journalist with extensive experience in both broadcast and digital platforms. The company specializes in crafting powerful auditory and live experiences that captivate audiences and elevate brands.

How did the entrepreneurial track at the Center for Entrepreneurs help you with your business?

Participating in the entrepreneurial track with the Center for Entrepreneurs was a pivotal experience in the evolution of Holbert Media Group. As a company specializing in voice-over artistry, master of ceremonies expertise and media relations, we needed more than creative talent — we needed strategic direction. The program offered actionable insight into building a business framework that's both efficient and scalable, helping us refine our core services and understand how to position them in a competitive marketplace. Beyond the curriculum, the real magic came from the community. Engaging with fellow aspiring entrepreneurs sparked new ideas and approaches, while personalized mentorship from experienced instructors helped translate those ideas into a clear business strategy. These conversations and relationships provided the confidence and tools necessary to advance our media brand with authenticity and impact. The experience wasn't just informative — it was energizing. It empowered the Holbert Media Group to move from concept to execution with a sharpened focus and a compelling voice — literally and figuratively.

Craft/artisan

Myra Parker Creations specializes in crafting handmade jewelry from nontraditional materials and hand-knit blankets.

How did the entrepreneurial track at the Center for Entrepreneurs help you with your business? 

I found the course to be helpful in various ways, including business creation, focus and setup. I also learned ways to promote my business and how to price my products. Connecting with other entrepreneurs is also a great resource that I gained from both the Discovery and Foundation tracks. There are so many things that I have taken away from these courses, and I am grateful for having had the opportunity to take them.
