About this listen
Small business confidence is climbing—but not everywhere. In this episode, we break down the latest NFIB survey showing optimism rising across most industries while construction slips and retailers remain the least upbeat. We’ll talk about what’s driving the mood shift (and what’s still holding owners back), including labor quality concerns and ongoing supply chain headaches.
Then we dig into a new SBA–USDA data-sharing agreement designed to strengthen fraud detection in federal programs—what it could mean for small businesses that rely on government support, and why scammers may pivot as oversight tightens.
Plus: Uber’s air taxi plans with Joby and what “Uber Air” could signal for urban travel and business logistics, Square’s upgraded Register (faster performance, tougher design), and a quick look at deals worth watching—followed by a handful of real-world small business lessons from Reddit.
