The Series

Community, education, and practical insights — over coffee.

Brewed for Growth is a free monthly seminar series hosted by Anthony Morgante — a local sales and technology leader in the St. Pete / Tampa region. It’s designed to offer credible insights for business owners to help strengthen operations, accelerate revenue, and leverage modern technology to drive measurable results. Each session features new topics, fresh perspectives, and occasional guest speakers who know what it takes to grow a business or support a growing business in today’s market.

The same session now runs in two cities every month — the Booksmart Conference Room at Station House St. Petersburg on the first Thursday, and the second floor of Hyde House Public Studio in Tampa on the last Thursday. Either way, it blends community, education, and practical insights you can apply to your business.
