Everyone has a moment in their lives that tilts them toward some direction in their lives. There’s a story or an event we witness that—consciously or unconsciously—pulls our interest, our desire, (and often our outrage) in some specific direction.
I believe this was one of those moments for me.
I’ve spent my entire life working with, in, and for small businesses in small communities. I love it.
But what I love most about small businesses is what they provide—jobs.
