I’m so excited to celebrate the Small Business Administration’s 2014 National Small Business Week. It starts today and continues virtually and in cities around the country. At part of the festivities, I’m hosting a special webcast event.  I’m bringing my weekly Tweetchat #SmallBizChat to New York City as a live video interview talk show. During my normal 8-9pm ET time slot, Wed May 14^th, I will interview small business experts in a studio while taking live questions from my small business audience via Google Hangout.

#SmallBizChat Live, is a live, one-hour show for small business owners. My guests include digital lifestyle expert Mario Armstrong; serial entrepreneur and Internet entrepreneur Heidi Messer, and legal expert Peter Rothberg.

The broadcast is being sponsored by HP and Pitney Bowes. HP will offer numerous HP Officejet Pro X giveaways during the show. Could you use $5000 cash to kickstart your business?   Pitney Bowes plans to give $5000 away to one lucky small business in honor of Small Business Week.  Enter the #PBCashGiveaway Contest to win!
