Listen Again! Let's Talk Local with Allison Gurza

from Ladies Who Question

Small businesses are the backbone of America, and they could all use a boost. With that in mind, the #ladieswhoquestion swoop into action with Let's Talk Local. Lise and Holli turn the spotlight on local small business owners and nonprofit leaders. This week, we learn about the joys and struggles of running Sage Explorers in Lake Forest, Illinois, a darling toy store with a decidedly fun and educational bent. Owner Allison Gurza details her journey from teacher to entrepreneur and her struggles with the impacts of tariffs in the toy biz. She was fascinating and fun, much like her store!
