Our conversation today for part two of a "Shop Small Saturday" edition of The Valley Today with Carl Knoblock, Virginia District Director of the Small Business Administration featured two small business owners. First, we talked with Sue Haynes, owner of Clementine Vintage about what shopping small means to her as a business owner, and how it impacts our community. We talked a bit about the products she carries and how she discovers them. Clementine Vintage is located at 148 E. King Street in Strasburg. They are open Wednesday - Saturday from noon til 6pm and on Sunday from noon til 5pm. Follow them on Facebook to learn about new products and upcoming events.

They are open on Wednesdays from 11am - 7pm, Thursdays from 11am - 6pm, Fridays from 11am - 5pm, Saturdays from 11am - 4pm, and Sundays from 11am - 3pm.

Today's show opens with a comment about the kind of nation Israel must be to still try to negotiate with Hamas. I cannot even imagine trying to take them at their word with the hope of getting some of your innocent citizens back. The deal that was struck is far better for Hamas, especially operationally for the ongoing war. That's because Israel is a culture of life and they are willing to take the risk if it means saving some of their own. IDF Jonathan Conricus was on CNN and discussed how the proof of the tunnels under the hospitals shows Hamas has been lying and Israel has been telling the truth. Not only has Hamas committed international war crimes, but also proves they are content using their own people as human shields. While Conricus asks about getting apologies from the WHO, the UN, the UNRWA and ICRC, my response is, don't hold your breath. Those groups are fundamentally anti-Israel, anti-Semitic and anti-liberty. They will never admit they were wrong. Meanwhile, Israeli Ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, asks that august body why they are not interested in crying out for women's rights when it comes to Israeli women and girls? Furthermore, he asks UNICEF why they have shown no interest in how Palestinian children are raised from birth to hate Jews and to want to kill them at whatever cost? TalkTV in the UK just ran a piece showing the “hate speech” being uttered in so many of their mosques. If we changed out their terminology, and replaced Jews with “black and brown people”, there would be a massive uprising asking why the FBI or the DOJ hasn't done anything to shut down the hate speech? But, at the moment, police feel there is no crime here. The Son of a Hamas founder, Mosab Hassan Yousef, addressed a delegation of the United Nations. His message is well worth hearing. It ends with the warning that if Israel fails in crushing Hamas, then the whole of the world will suffer. It seems the people in Ireland have had enough with unchecked illegal immigration. They just had a knife attack outside of a school, where five people, three of which were children, the youngest only five years old, were attacked. In response, people began to riot and set fire to various immigration processing centers. While I do not condone any violence, it represents the pressure cooker nearly all Western nations are trying to ignore with their unchecked immigration policies. The irony of the reaction in Ireland was for their Prime Minister to blame the “far-right” for the reaction to the knife attack. Rather than understand the reason for the anger and to address the root cause, it's easier to blame far-right politics. The annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade was ruined thanks to a bunch of blithering idiots who wanted to show their love for terrorists by gluing themselves to the ground on the parade route. They also defaced a part of the New York Public Library that contained a dedication to Stephan Schwarzman, a Jewish donor to the library. Want to stop this in it's tracks? Arrest them and charge them to the fullest extent possible. Show these radical fascists what happens when they break the law. It's not cute or trendy. New J6 footage shows someone who appears to be wearing an ear-piece, shoving people inside the Capitol. In fact, we have audio of a woman who is trying to resist, telling him to stop shoving her and others inside. There is no doubt in my mind, J6 was a Fed plan to frame Donald Trump and his supporters. I haven't been wrong on any of the supposed “conspiracies” so far and I have no doubt I'm right about this one, too. Carol Roth, who appeared on my show a few weeks ago, addressed Bidenomics recently and detailed just how poorly the Biden regime is handling our economy. However, with the holidays here, she does remind us how important it is to support local businesses. Finally, Pierre Poilievre, the leader of Canada's Conservative Party, schools another reporter regarding the news of the car explosion at the border checkpoint between Canada and the United States. It's another master class on how to deal with people who have an agenda. It starts by not accepting the premise, staying calm and reasoned, and using their own words against them. Brilliant!

Dive into the fascinating world of micro-businesses and explore their remarkable impact on local economies and communities. Discover how these micro-businesses drive innovation, create employment opportunities, racial equity, and contribute to the overall economic landscape. Our guests Brian Goebel, Managing Director of The Business & Society Institute at Emory University's Goizueta Business School and Mercedes Uzuegbunam, Heart Mercedes Founder share their insights into the stories and strategies behind microbusiness. Join us as we discuss the impact of these small but mighty enterprises, rethink intentionality in our shopping behaviors, and gain a deeper understanding of why small business is truly big. The Importance of MicrobusinessesBrian Goebel discusses how microbusinesses go beyond economic contributions to influence communities. They tailor products and services to the specific needs of their communities, creating a unique and personalized experience. They add cultural richness to communities. Despite their small size individually, their collective impact is significant. They play a crucial role in creating jobs, both directly and indirectly, and contribute to building wealth within communities. Professor Peter Roberts has additional research on microbusiness impact. Additionally, the Association for Enterprise Opportunity (AEO) Bigger Than You Think Report provides helpful insights.  Start:ME: Supporting MicrobusinessesBrian discusses Start:ME, a micro-business accelerator program, operating in underserved communities across metro Atlanta that has served nearly 400 micro-businesses over the last 10 years. The program focuses on supporting businesses to start, grow, and thrive. Follow @StartMeATL on Instagram. Brian and Mercedes also share more about the work of other entrepreneur support organizations in Atlanta including Goodie Nation, Village Micro Fund, The Village Market, Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs, and Women's Entrepreneurship Initiative (WEI).Journey to Heart MercedesMercedes Uzuegbunam, Start:ME alum and coordinator discusses her journey to launch Heart Mercedes, a statement jewelry line for the whole family. She discusses how it evolved organically, driven by her passion for art and a desire to give back to the community. She shares how Start:ME played a crucial role in her transition from artist to a business owner and her decision to support other entrepreneurs.  Mercedes emphasizes the importance of authenticity in her brand and how her values show up in her business. She engages the community in “random acts of kindness” such as organizing pop-up art classes in schools, contributing to creative expression in children and enhancing community well-being. Follow @HeartMercedes on Instagram.Addressing Poverty and Racial Equity Brian sheds light on how micro-businesses play a role in providing pathways for families to exit poverty, however he cautions that poverty is a systemic issue that entrepreneurship alone cannot solve. Micro-businesses contribute significantly to household income and offer flexibility to entrepreneurs, enabling them to leverage their passions and skills. In reference to economic equity, Brian highlights the racial wealth gap and emphasizes the need for intentional support, ensuring entrepreneurs from underserved communities have access to knowledge, networks, and capital. He also advocates for policy considerations as crucial aspects in creating an equitable environment. Brian highlights several thought leaders and organizations doing great work in the Atlanta area on this topic and references the Atlanta Wealth Building Initiative (AWBI) along with the Partnership for Southern Equity (PSE) as a great starting point to understand the dynamics of Atlanta.Reference: The Atlanta Wealth Building Initiative (AWBI)  Building a Beloved Economy Spending with IntentionMercedes and Brian highlight the significance of researching where to spend your money, aligning your choices with personal values, and the impact that can create. The idea of "Shop Small, Shop Local" is more than a slogan; it's about investing in the community, creating personal connections, and leaving a positive impact. Mercedes emphasizes the value of leaving a positive legacy through intentional and supportive actions. Brian also underlines the role that companies can play in driving impact through intentional procurement initiatives. Taking ActionBrian concludes by inviting listeners to get involved by making mindful choices regarding where they shop and how they invest their time. He invites listeners to support micro-businesses through purchases from the Start:ME shopping guide and volunteering as a Start:ME business mentor. He highlights several organizations working towards economic equity and encourages individuals to get informed about challenges and take collective action for a better, more prosperous community.  Thank you to our guests, Brian Goebel and Mercedes Uzuegbunam, for sharing their insights and experiences. Join us in supporting micro-businesses and making intentional choices that positively impact our communities.
