Leading up to National Small Business Week, I interviewed Julie Verratti, Associate Administrator, Office of Field Operations at the U.S. Small Business Administration.  Prior to accepting the White House appointment, Julie was co-founder and Chief Brand Officer of Maryland-based Denizens Brewing Co. During our conversation, Julie and I explore the unique time of healing and recovery for America’s Small Businesses.  We chatted about her new role at the SBA, the American Rescue Plan, small business resources, and much more.
