Running a business in a small town comes with its own set of unique challenges—and incredible opportunities. From the “fishbowl effect” where everyone knows your every move, to the limited customer base and resources, small town business life is real and raw. But it also comes with hidden advantages most city businesses would envy: deeper relationships, less competition, and word-of-mouth that spreads like wildfire. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to grow...
