On this episode of the SBAM Weekly Podcast, Michael Rogers speaks with Gina Jacquart Thorsen, CEO of Jacquart Fabric Products, known for the Michigan brand Stormy Kromer. Thorsen was named SBAM’s 2024 Advocate of the Year.
"Small business owners, you know, we hear politicians all the time say that small businesses are the backbone of the economy. But they don’t really understand what that means. Many of them are not, have never been and will never be small business owners," Thorsen stated. "We have to be the ones that tell our stories. We have to be the ones that share both our successes and our triumphs and the great work we’re doing, but also the challenges and how different systems and organizations and infrastructure can help support us. There is just no one better than you to tell your story."
