Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting a group of small businesses from across the country. By “small,” I mean some of these companies have just a handful of employees.
The group included owners of a catering company from Dallas, a mechanical engineering company from Philadelphia, a marketing consulting firm from Cleveland, a combination bar and bakery from 3/7  BIS central bankers' speeches  Brooklyn, and a gluten-free bakery from my hometown, Salt Lake City.
