Bonus Episode, because, well, it's important if you're a business owner!  The ERC is a refundable payroll tax credit that was originally enacted as part of the CARES Act in March of 2020.  But, it's been updated and expanded as of January 25, 2021.  Listen in, then, call your accountant, or call me and I'll connect you with some folks who know what's going on. 

Cheers!  Kyle.

I sit down with Glenn Clark, Founder of Crafting a Brand Company in the Finger Lakes region of NY and talk about his career and how to follow your passion.  We discuss ways beverage companies can stand out from the crowd because it's easy to become so focused on their day-to-day responsibilities that they neglect to invest in their own brand, resulting in less-effective marketing, lost time and money, and consumers who don't have loyalty or love for the brand.  Glenn reveals his process and walks us through it.
