Stalled but Not Silenced: Small Businesses Confront Government Inaction Black & Bankable CEO Podcast

    • Management

In this episode of the Black & Bankable Podcast, we dive into the frustrating cycle of federal government shutdowns – a relay race with no finish line. Our special guest, John Arensmeyer, the Founder & CEO of Small Business Majority, brings his unique insights to the table.
As we peel back the layers of political gridlock, we uncover how this repetitive impasse fuels voter apathy, particularly among small business owners who are the backbone of our economy. But it's not just a story of frustration; it's a clarion call to action.
Together with John, we explore tangible strategies for small business owners to break free from the cycle of disengagement. We discuss how to hold elected officials accountable and effectively advocate for policies that support and nurture the small business community.
Expect a mix of hard-hitting facts, personal anecdotes from John's extensive experience, and actionable advice. This episode isn't just a discussion; it's a movement towards empowering the small business sector to voice their needs and demand change.
Don't miss this compelling blend of analysis, inspiration, and practical guidance. Join us in transforming apathy into action.
