Lynda McAlary-Smith (Victorian Small Business Commissioner) - empathetic and effective

We chat to Lynda McAlary-Smith, the Victorian Small Business Commissioner, whose family experience with success and failure has helped her become an empathetic and effective advocate for small businesses, including restaurants and cafes. We talk rent negotiations, tapping into the community's fond feeling for local enterprises, the heart-rending but often relieving decisions around closing a business and the many resources available to assist with mental wellbeing. https://au.linkedin.com/in/lynda-mcalary-smith-978b4088 Follow Dirty Linen on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dirtylinenpodcast Follow Dani Valent https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ Follow Huck (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork
