The businesses in today’s podcast are up against so much - the rising costs of ingredients, shipping and freight costs, rising employee wages, GST, rent - the list goes on. Yet they continue to show up for this community? Why? Because of YOUR support. Today, you’ll hear candidly from the businesses you know and love - most from Sydney but a few from Melbourne too.
