Small Town Stories · 2026-05-28 · 3 min
Small town business is different - and after years of working in marketing, entrepreneurship, and online business, it’s something I didn’t fully understand until I moved back to the small village where I grew up. Welcome to Small Town Stories! I’m sharing the story behind why I created this podcast, what surprised me most about returning to small-town life, and why I believe we need more honest conversations about local business marketing, entrepreneurship, and the realities of building a small town business today. Because the truth is, most business advice was never designed for small towns. The way people discover businesses is different. The way word of mouth works is different. Reputation, community relationships, visibility, tourism, loyalty, and even growth itself all operate differently when you’re building something inside a tight-knit community. And yet so much of the entrepreneurship world completely overlooks that nuance.
