Tasha OldhamAs a filmmaker and artist, Tasha Oldham knew starting and running a business was not one of her talents. So, Oldham surrounded herself with the experts at SCORE to help start her Web video production company.

 

"When I found SCORE, I thought it was too good to be true. SCORE mentors really care! They've taught me how to think bigger and stretch beyond my comfort zone. I work with a whole team with different specialties. I am so passionate about SCORE and the work they do, that recently I shot 14 national spots to help share their success stories. With SCORE, like anything, the more you put into it the more you get out of it." Find out more.
