Rocky Mount Business Builders

06/01/2026

At Rocky Mount Business Builders, we believe that every new connection has the power to open a door — and Lorie Cruickshank is a perfect example of how meaningful those connections can be.

As the owner of Coffee Mug Travel – Dream Vacations, Lorie helps people turn their travel dreams into real‑world experiences. But what makes her such a valuable part of our group isn’t just her expertise — it’s the way she shows up with curiosity, warmth, and a genuine desire to learn about your business too.

Networking isn’t just about handing out business cards.
It’s about discovering the people behind the businesses — their stories, their passions, and the ways your paths might align.

When you meet someone like Lorie, you’re reminded why showing up matters:
• You gain a trusted resource for travel planning
• You build relationships that grow beyond the meeting room
• You find new ways to collaborate, refer, and support each other
• You strengthen the local business ecosystem one conversation at a time

Lorie embodies what makes Rocky Mount Business Builders special — a community where entrepreneurs lift each other up, share opportunities, and celebrate wins together.

If you haven’t met her yet, make sure you do. Your next great connection might be one conversation away. Join us every Wednesday from noon to 1PM at Golden Corral-RM.

Did you know most small businesses face at least one legal situation every year — but many never call an attorney because of the cost.

That’s exactly why we’re excited to welcome Dee & Bobby Ward of LegalShield to Rocky Mount Business Builders on May 20. With over two decades of experience, they’re bringing practical, affordable solutions that help business owners protect what they’re building.

If you’re a leader, entrepreneur, or simply want more peace of mind for your family, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

Entrepreneurship Can Feel Lonely — But You Don’t Have to Do It Alone
Being an entrepreneur is exciting… but let’s be honest, it can also feel isolating.
You’re juggling ideas, deadlines, clients, finances, and expectations — often without a team to lean on. Some days it feels like no one really understands the pressure, the passion, or the weight you carry.

That’s why finding a community matters.

At Rocky Mount Business Builders, you don’t have to explain why you’re tired, inspired, overwhelmed, or fired up. You’re surrounded by people who get it — because they’re living it too.

Every week, we show up for each other by:
• Sharing real challenges and real wins
• Offering support, referrals, and resources
• Celebrating progress (even the small steps)
• Reminding each other that we’re not building alone

If you’ve been feeling like you’re carrying your business on an island, consider this your invitation to step into a room where you’re understood, supported, and welcomed.

Your business deserves community.
And so do you.

We had an incredible meeting this week with Dr. LaToya McCurdy, owner of NutraDrip, as our guest speaker.

Dr. McCurdy shared powerful insights on the role of IV hydration therapy, wellness optimization, and proactive health strategies for busy professionals. Her passion for community wellness and her commitment to helping people feel their best truly resonated with our group.

Our members walked away with:
• A clearer understanding of how IV hydration supports energy, recovery, and immune health
• Practical tips for maintaining wellness during demanding work seasons
• Inspiration from Dr. McCurdy’s entrepreneurial journey and community impact

We’re grateful for her time, expertise, and the value she brought to the room.
