Business Monthly Hilliard Area Chamber of Commerce
February 2021 • Issue 126
February 18 Virtual Meeting Starting a Business from a car and $300 — would you do it? Small-town kid JL Holdsworth moved to Columbus, Ohio, in 2002 with $300 to his name and everything he owned in a twodoor car. Since then, he has won a world championship in powerlifting, founded The Spot Athletics, which has two 20,000 sq. ft. private fitness facilities, co-founded a rapidly growing international business and built a
family with three children. Holdsworth loves to share his experiences, failures and lessons to help others achieve success and happiness in life. Join us to hear his story and life lessons that can help other businesses forge through tough times like the pandemic. The meeting is free and open to all! Reservations need to be made through the HACC website, www.hilliardchamber.org.
BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT For parents, keeping your children safe is built into our DNA. Hillard resident Tizzie Nuss decided to go one step further. She created the Spark Project which provides safety education and tools for our communities’ children. One tool that the Spark Project offers is the Spark Shield™, a lightweight, customizable folder children can carry with them throughout the day at school. The folder has one important feature: it will stop a handgun bullet. She partnered with ballistics experts at The Ohio State University & Bigger Tuna and the Spark Shield™ went from a concept to a product that is now in the hands of Ohio families. The Spark Shield™ is Ohio-made, certified per the National Institute of Justice Type III-A Standard, and able to be personalized. Interested in learning more? Check out www.sparkproject. us/shield and pick up your own Spark Shield™.
