Silver Lining kicks off small business tour in Los Angeles

Silver Lining is launching its five-city “The Economy Is My Business Tour” in Los Angeles on Oct. 8, with Wells Fargo support lowering ticket prices and expanding access. The workshop is aimed at helping small business owners grow sales, profit and long-term sustainability while reinforcing the role of small businesses in the U.S. economy.

Why it matters: - Silver Lining is trying to turn a live workshop into a broader message about small business influence in the U.S. economy. - The Los Angeles stop is meant to give owners practical tools to grow revenue and strengthen long-term sustainability. - Wells Fargo’s support lowers the cost of attendance and opens access to some no-cost seats. - Every dollar spent at the event is intended to go directly to local small business owners.

What happened: - Silver Lining is bringing “The Economy Is My Business Tour” to Los Angeles on Oct. 8, 2026, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. PST. - The live workshop is part of a national five-city tour. - Silver Lining Founder and CEO Carissa Reiniger will lead a live silv=r™ small business growth workshop. - The event is being supported by Wells Fargo through the American Small Business Growth Program.

The details: - Attendees will get a practical roadmap focused on growing sales, profit and long-term sustainability. - Participants can join Silver Lining’s silv=r™ platform at a pay-what-you-can rate. - Attendees will also receive “The Economy Is My Business” merchandise and a silv=r™ swag bag. - Attendance is intentionally limited. - The stated ticket value is $299. - Tickets are being offered for $19 because of Wells Fargo’s support. - Select seats are available at no cost. - People can RSVP at the Los Angeles tour page. - Participants can request the promo code by emailing sierra@silversmallbusiness.com.

Between the lines: - Silver Lining is framing the tour as a call for small business owners to reclaim pride, power and agency. - The campaign centers on three ideas: small businesses can change the economy by growing, they create local income and impact, and they gain power by succeeding together. - The company’s pitch reflects a larger effort to position small businesses as the starting point of economic growth, not just its beneficiaries.

What's next: - The Los Angeles stop is the first public step in the five-city tour. - Silver Lining is likely to use the event to recruit more small business owners into its silv=r™ platform. - The company also points to its broader ecosystem, including silv=r™ Capital and its media brand small., which includes small.news.

The bottom line: - Silver Lining is pairing a discounted live event with a broader economic message: small businesses should see themselves as drivers of the economy, not just participants in it.
