February 3, 2026
The Columbia Chamber introduces yet another outstanding Midlands Business Accelerator cohort for 2026. This is our 5th cohort to date, and the eleven (11) dynamic CEOs (listed below) represent several different categories of talent and entrepreneurship.
“Same Excellence. More horsepower,” says instructor Wendell Jones as he prepped for the new WJLI Growth Blueprint curriculum which focuses on four (4) primary pillars: 1) Identity & Customer Clarity 2) Cash Flow & Capital Strategy 3) Systems & Authority Growth Engine 4) Resilience & Legacy Strategy. These pillars are designed to help participating CEOs scale and grow their businesses, ensure economic success of their families and build stronger, more resilient communities.
