Ep. 51 Hey Bossys! We’re kicking off 2025 with a vulnerable and unfiltered recap of the rollercoaster that was 2024. From the financial chaos of an election year to the pressures of the holiday season, we’re laying it all out—no sugarcoating, just the real, messy truth of being small business owners.
Kelly Bush shares how the unpredictable economy hit her businesses, Marshall Street and The Union Tavern, while Kelly Metras opens up about navigating huge financial risks of buying I-Square and the constant juggling act of work and family. We’re also diving into how AI is reshaping small businesses (spoiler alert: it’s here to stay!) and how we’re balancing efficiency with the all-important human touch.
Our top three wins of 2024? We’re not bankrupt, we’re not divorced, and our kids are healthy—sometimes, that’s what success looks like. 💪
If you’re ready for honest talk about the challenges, lessons, and little victories of the past year—and how we’re gearing up to crush it in 2025—this episode is for you. 💥
