The episode featured Brian Calley and Sarah Miller, who addressed topics such as a Supreme Court procedural ruling on the Line 5 tunnel, ongoing disputes over Mackinac Island ferry services, and projections for record-breaking political ad spending in the upcoming election cycle.
The briefing aimed to inform small business owners about current developments that could impact their operations. Updates included analysis of the latest Entrepreneurship Scorecard report, which examines trends in business growth, stability, and diversity across Michigan.
Calley and Miller also provided insights into both challenges and opportunities facing small businesses throughout the state. The discussion highlighted how changes in infrastructure decisions and political climates may affect entrepreneurs.
