Heroes of the New Economy

Heroes of the New Economy

Heroes of the Covid Economy celebrated those business owners who somehow stayed open during the war on COVID. The war is over (in its full blown iteration) but small business owners continue. This podcast continues to create a forum to learn from each other, to shout out your passion, your why’s, and your how’s. We invite owners to share how they’re doing, what possibilities they are creating and celebrate their business and their journey.
