Small businesses employ nearly half of the nation’s workers — so how are they doing?
In this edition of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast, we interview 8 Charlotte small businesses — rapid-fire style, for a couple minutes each — to gain insights on the opportunities and challenges they face. We conducted the interviews on March 30, 2023, at the Charlotte Area Chamber of Commerce’s Business Expo at the Park Expo and Conference Center.
The businesses ranged from industries from photography to security to fitness — and we asked them about the challenges they’re facing in a post-pandemic economy.
We also talked to Jessica Helms from the Charlotte Area Chamber, who organized the expo. The chamber has 450 members as of March 2023.
In this episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast, you’ll hear from:
Ada Stevens of Snap Happy Photos
Isaac Yisrael of Blackstone Security
Dave Chen of D&M Restaurant Supply
Mariana Orzech of Promotion Magic
Andrew Carlson of Veterinary Emergency Group
Molley Corely of Yoga Six
Jennifer Canas of BSI Solutions
Evan Preslopsky of Venture X
We hope you enjoy the conversations.
The Charlotte Ledger Podcast is produced by Lindsey Banks.
