Things got spooky in the studio this week as we brewed up a Halloween special with guest host John Esenwein! John joined us to share what it really takes to own your own business — and gave a sneak peek at what’s coming at the next Business, Bytes & Brews event on October 29th.

Of course, it wouldn’t be The Fresh Pot without some laughs — we swapped spooky season traditions, costume ideas, and favorite local haunts like Roushville in New Berlin and the Elysburg Haunted House. Plus, we tackled the great Halloween candy debate (spoiler: Norm has strong opinions). 🍬

We also chatted about the new Click or Treat game for businesses and entrepreneurs — play daily at clickortreat.boo to win prizes toward your business! 🎁

And don’t miss our talk about Reader Roast, where you can earn rewards just for reviewing books at your favorite local coffee shops and bookstores — sign up at readerroast.com. ☕📚

So grab your favorite fall drink, press play, and join us for a frightfully fun episode of The Fresh Pot Podcast!
