The Hats
Running a small business isn’t one job — it’s ten. You’ve got a hat for every role, from crunching numbers to calming chaos. This page is your hub to navigate each “hat” — our categories — with advice, insights, and hard-earned lessons from someone who’s lived it.
I'm Josh — small business owner, partner, and wearer of many metaphorical hats. This blog helps you manage them all without losing your head.
