Small Business Chat with J Kelley Mulit-Business Owner. Diet Coke Addict. Cowboy Romance Lover. Mama

Welcome to Yap & Hustle, the no-fluff podcast where I spill the real tea on what it’s actually like to be a small business owner. I’ve spent the last 10 years doing it all: from launching an exclusive online boutique before pop-ups were even a thing, to printing graphic tees for over 7,000 boutiques nationwide, to now running a niche indie bookstore-meets-wine-bar in Panama City, FL. This is your behind-the-scenes pass to the wins, fails, wild stories, and unfiltered lessons that come with building multiple businesses from the ground up. Pull up a chair, sit down and lets get into ittttt!
