November 2026
November is a month for reflection, gratitude, and looking ahead. As the year begins to wind down, this issue celebrates the entrepreneurs, leaders, and members of the Awepra community who continue to build meaningful businesses, create new opportunities, and inspire those around them to think bigger.
This month’s cover feature, centered around John Poindexter and Guiding Entrepreneurs to the Next Level, explores the importance of leadership, experience, and having the right perspective when building a business. Success rarely happens alone, and John’s story offers a thoughtful look at what it means to help entrepreneurs move forward, overcome challenges, and turn their ambitions into something greater.
