This episode of Indie Business Podcast is a recording of my “Real People Real Business” radio show which airs live on Saturday mornings on WIXE-AM in Monroe, North Carolina. In this episode, I interviewed Pat Kahle, President of the Union County Chamber of Commerce, and Johnnie McCrorey of Trendy Treats by Johnnie. We discussed a variety of topics to help entrepreneurs take advantage of their local chamber of commerce. This collage includes a picture of me and Pat at a local chamber event, the logo for my local chamber of commerce, Johnnie McCrorey of Trendy Treats by Johnnie, and the giant cupcake Johnnie made for me for Indie Business Studio's grand opening last month.
