The gap

Your business has more going on than anybody knows about.

You expanded the kitchen. You hired three people. You’ve been on the same block for eleven years and you sponsor the youth league every spring. None of it has been written down anywhere, and the one time you sent something to the paper, you never heard back.

That’s the gap. Small businesses in the 518 do interesting things constantly and almost never get credit for them, because telling the story is a separate job from doing the work. It’s a job nobody on your payroll has time for.
