108 | Entrepreneurial Communities: Lessons from SBA | Terry Bolden, Andrew Coffield, and Brad Zaun
Jason Duff is joined by Terry Bolden, Andrew Coffield, and Brad Zaun for a conversation about entrepreneurship, small-business resources, community revitalization, disaster recovery, and what it takes to build entrepreneurial communities. Recorded during a visit to Bellefontaine, Ohio, the conversation explores what the guests saw firsthand in a community where entrepreneurs, local leaders, property owners, and organizations have worked together to create momentum. The discussion also provides practical insight into the resources available through the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), including where entrepreneurs can go for help, how SBA resources can support businesses during times of disaster, and why simply knowing who to call can make a major difference. The guests also discuss leadership, the realities of running a small business, government contracting, books for entrepreneurs, and the importance of building relationships and asking for help. Strong businesses help create strong communities, and strong communities create environments where entrepreneurs can succeed.
