The Events

The Mississippi Economic Elevation Networking Events, Workshops, and Seminars are designed to bring together entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and everyday individuals looking to improve their economic state of being.

Our events are designed to bring together numerous regional leaders and aspiring leaders in entrepreneurship, financial literacy, human capital development, and more. Our mission is to provide the training and principles necessary to help you go from where you currently are, to running a highly profitable business or impactful organization while contributing to the expedited upward economic mobility of everyday citizens.

These types of events play a pivotal role in the development and success of entrepreneurs by providing them with a dynamic and interactive learning environment. These sessions offer a hands-on approach to acquiring essential skills, fostering creativity, and honing business acumen. Workshops not only equip entrepreneurs with practical knowledge but also encourage networking and collaboration with like-minded individuals. Through real-world scenarios and skilled guidance, workshops enable entrepreneurs to navigate the challenges of the business landscape more effectively. The interactive nature of workshops facilitates active engagement, allowing participants to apply theoretical concepts to their specific ventures. This experiential learning not only builds confidence but also fosters adaptability, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills—crucial attributes in the unpredictable and competitive world of entrepreneurship. Overall, workshop training serves as a catalyst for entrepreneurial growth, enabling individuals to refine their strategies, learn from others' experiences, and ultimately enhance their chances of success in the dynamic business ecosystem.

The Creator

I, Brian A. Street, MSW am the creator of Mississippi Economic Elevation. Since I began helping run investment groups and eventually leading entrepreneurship workshops to a global client pool alongside my business partner out of New York, I’ve had a plan to bring it back to Mississippi…where all of my beginnings were initiated. I’ve been blessed enough to obtain two bachelor’s degrees along with a master’s degree, plus 2 years of doctoral studies at Louisiana State University just before COVID-19 derailed everything. During my academic years, I was able to participate in financial literacy research where I eventually aided in the creation of the Financial Masterplan for the city of Hattiesburg, MS. Over the years I have been able to start multiple companies, partner in the development of non-profits, as well as becoming a lead managing partner of a real estate development company. During this time I’ve developed the relationships and credibility necessary to bring you Mississippi Economic Elevation.
