I work with a TON of small business owners.  One of their concerns is competition from big box stores that offer similar products at lower prices.  From their eyes, these corporations are running them out of business – but it doesn’t have to be that way.  The large stores bring a different type of value to the community, and there lots of ways for small business to stay relevant and provide what the big guys can’t.

Today, I have Jamie Church back on the show for another appearance.

Jamie brings a wealth of experience to the table, having worked tirelessly to support local businesses while also recognizing the importance of national competition.  It’s a balancing act that requires finesse and skill, and Jamie has proven time and again that she is up to the task.

Through her work, Jamie has seen firsthand how small businesses and large box stores can both contribute to the health of a community.  She understands that each has its unique strengths and challenges, and that a healthy community requires a blend of both.

Join us as we delve into the world of economic development and explore the role of the Chamber of Commerce in building strong, vibrant communities.  With Jamie Church in the truck, you know we’re in for a fascinating discussion.
