Matt has been self employed for over 20 years with experiences in banking, printing, fitness and now hospitality. Matt knows the challenges of life as small business owner in a rural town, from staffing to marketing and everything in between. Like many small business owners, COVID has presented a whole new raft of challenges. Hear how Matt has used his business skills and experience to face those challenges and grow his business even during COVID.
