Timothy “Wolf” Starr is the ultimate community connector and arts maverick. His creative journey towards ‘genius’ is one of experimentation paired with a collaborative spirit stretching across the arts – from musical acts to performance art to murals and festivals. (Yes, he’s one of the geniuses behind Independent’s Day Fest!). During an Ohio State football game, he came up with the idea of Connects Columbus, formerly Small Business Beanstalk, a local-first company that leverages connections of all types to support business and community growth. Wolf will share the story of his journey to becoming an entrepreneur, artist and community connector.
