In this session of Rising Tides Live, with Richard Liverman and Mike Bisceglia filling in for host Shawn Walchef, the community turned its focus to supporting independent businesses. From sharing favorite local restaurants to discussing how communities can rally around small businesses, the conversation emphasized the importance of local loyalty and the role these businesses play in creating lasting memories. Guests highlighted how even small gestures—like sharing on social media, leaving a review, or recommending a spot to friends—can make a big impact. This episode reminded everyone that behind every small business is a story worth sharing and a community worth supporting.
