Welcome to The Fishbowl!

We are a podcast where we dive into real stories from small business owners and college students making a difference. Each month, we sit down for honest conversations about their journeys, challenges, and the impact they’re making in their communities and beyond.

Why “The Fishbowl”?

Inspired by the well-known Shark Tank, where entrepreneurs pitch for national success, The Fishbowl focuses on the business owners and students who make a big impact right at home.

What You’ll Hear

  • Real conversations with real entrepreneurs

  • Insights into the challenges and triumphs of running a business

  • Reflections on the impact small businesses have on our communities
