From Bold ideas to Building Dreams with Sara Holden

Season Two episode One of the Imagine Moore Podcast opens with a powerful and inspiring conversation with Sara Holden, Director of the Small Business Center at Sandhills Community College.

Sara brings a rare, real-world perspective to entrepreneurship. Her journey includes military service, education, law enforcement, agriculture, and multiple small business ventures — experiences that shape the way she now supports entrepreneurs across Moore and Hoke Counties.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What small business owners are really facing right now

• How lived experience makes better leaders and better advisors

• Why entrepreneurship doesn’t have to be a solo journey

• How community, resilience, and practical support help businesses grow

• What “Learn, Engage, and Belong” looks like in action

This conversation is honest, encouraging, and filled with insight for anyone building a business, dreaming of starting one, or looking for support along the way.
