Running a small business is tough — especially if you’re in a city like Nashville where commercial lease rates are increasing significantly.

Today, we’re tallying the cost of doing business in Middle Tennessee. Joining us are small business owners, subject matter experts, and property developers to enlighten us on how small businesses are adapting to the changing economic landscape.

You can also join us live on YouTube to get the visual show experience and share your thoughts.

This episode was produced by Josh Deepan.
