Join us on this episode of Start Small to hear about Dante's early beginnings in the restaurant industry, the mentors that shaped his philosophy of leadership, and the wisest words his Granny ever gave him (you might want tissues for that part).

Ever wondered how to distinguish between a 1099 and a W2 employee? Wondering what your business partnership needs to be secure? Curious about what succession planning needs to be successful?

We answer all of these questions (and more) with Tara Carter! Tune in to hear about her experience working with small businesses in small towns, the most common mistakes she sees, and why legal compliance is key to a successful and long-lived business.

Agritourism can be a lifeline for farms in small towns, and nobody knows that better than Sarah and Tom, the owners of Shade Tree Farm and Orchard in Adams, Tennessee!

(Plus, lots of wild cow stories!)

Tune in now and give it a listen!
