This video spotlights an independent business owner with a good message. And I agree that to be a successful small business owner, you need to find a nice balance between your vision, profits, and customer satisfaction—something large companies struggle with.

The Appalachian Channel has another mom and pop video out this week. It’s an historic market in East Tennessee: A local gathering place since 1941, offering delicious food and a sense of community.
