Oxygen Coaching Group works with individuals and with businesses, showing them a better way of doing their work. And they bring to the table the Oxygen guarantee: they don't guarantee success, but they do guarantee that you have your best shot at it.

Coming from a family of entrepreneurs herself, Kat Frey, the founder of Oxygen, always had the urge to take the entrepreneurial plunge. She was passionate about learning and wanted to educate others and help them better navigate their businesses.

"We aren't what you get out of a book. We are all the experiences that we screwed up. And we try to shorten that learning curve," she says. "My start came from what I call the Big Three: manufacturing, transportation and construction. We bring all those experiences into how we help other business owners get through changes in their own businesses."

"Speaker Sponsorship 101"
Featuring Julie Austin
September 7, 2022, 12–1 p.m. EST
