Ep.117 - Buried in Snow and Bleeding Cash

Snow days feel harmless until you’re the one running payroll. In this episode of Between 2 Bridges, amidst a historic winter storm, we’re measuring how much snow really costs small businesses. Lost revenue. Employees clocked in with no customers. Rising utility bills. And no clear path to relief. We talk about how prolonged snow and subzero temperatures ripple through restaurants, retail, service businesses, and startups. Why being open can actually be worse than being closed. How disaster relief programs exist but rarely reach businesses in time. And what happens when city infrastructure, budgeting decisions, and weather collide. This isn’t complaining about the cold. It’s an honest conversation about survival, risk, and the reality small business owners face when everything stops but the bills don’t. If you’ve ever owned a business, supported one, or wondered why snow days hit harder than people think, this episode doesn’t leave you out in the cold.

Ep.116 - People Aren’t Broke, They’re Maxed Out

January has a way of telling the truth. In this episode, Joe and Jerry dig into why so many people feel broke even when the economy looks “fine” on paper. From maxed-out credit cards and tightening consumer spending to a housing market that feels stuck and businesses navigating slow seasons, this is a real conversation about what’s actually happening beneath the surface. They talk loyalty versus discounts, why slow months are when business owners have to lean in harder, and how discipline, relationships, and adaptability matter more than ever when margins get tight.

Ep.110 - If You Don’t Set Boundaries, Others Will

Everyone wants growth. Nobody talks about survival. In Episode 110, Joe and Jerry strip away the hustle buzzwords and get real about boundaries, the kind that keep your business, your team, and your sanity intact. From customers who expect the moon for the price of a paperclip, to the hard truth about firing clients, rewriting engagement letters, and protecting your people, this episode is a reminder that saying yes to everything is the fastest way to burn out. They break down why your “best” customers can quietly become your biggest liability, how systems exist to stop constant firefighting, and why consistency matters more than heroics. But they also talk about the other side of the coin: how standing your ground, even in a tense moment, can earn respect and turn a bad interaction into one of your most loyal, long-term customers. Along the way are stories every business owner will recognize: entitlement, unrealistic deadlines, corporate nonsense, and yes, even an unexpected mouse making a cameo to prove that chaos always shows up when your guard is down. If you don’t set boundaries, someone else will. And they won’t do it in your favor.
