This episode dives into a hard truth for small businesses: the customer you built your business around in 2019 may not be the same customer you’re serving today. Dave Dirks explores how changing expectations, digital habits, AI, and customer behavior are reshaping the way businesses compete and what small business owners can do now to stay relevant, valuable, and easy to choose.
