When Steph (Krivitzky) Lusby started her first small business, she was advised by experienced entrepreneurs to open a business checking account. What seemed like a simple step, however, quickly turned into a bureaucratic nightmare at the bank. Big banks weren’t built for small businesses. With excessive fees and corporate-focused services that don’t meet small business needs, traditional banking often creates more barriers than opportunities. Understanding these challenges can help you make smarter financial decisions. Read more in our latest blog. https://lnkd.in/efbHMFDb

We had a great chat with one of our community members, Ryan R. Sullivan. He's a podcast coach and has some fascinating things to share about monetizing your projects. Here are just a few points: 1. A small, highly engaging niche podcast can often be way more profitable than a massive podcast no one cares about. 2. Often the most profitable "ad" you can run on your podcast is for your own products and services. 3. Trust is hard to earn and easy to lose, never let short-term monetization drive you to betray your community. Ryan has a ton more to say, and we'll be sharing more of his thoughts on the blog over the next few weeks. Stay tuned at https://www.novo.co/blog
