Farley and Liam explore why the smartest investment a small business owner can make is time spent on the business — learning, planning, and connecting — not just grinding through day‑to‑day tasks. Farley shares her excitement about being invited to Ideas Fest, a two‑day festival of like‑minded founders and creators, and explains how those concentrated moments of learning, collaboration, and “aha” thinking can transform your strategy and energy.
