July 4^th, 2022, marks the 11^th anniversary of Michigan Business Network. Here, you get to listen to a July 4^th, 2011 segment from “Michigan Today”, a sister show to ‘Michigan Business Beat’ on MBN.

Chris Holman billed that day nearing a decade ago as both “Freedom from Bad Business Communications Day”, and “Independence from Bad Business Communications Day”.

Hear Rob and Chris discuss SBAM at the time of the start of MBN in the podcast shared below:

Rob Fowler, now former CEO & President of SBAM, the Small Business Association of Michigan joined Chris on this special event. The pair viewed that time as the right one for the need of getting out the message. SBAM at the time served approximately 12,000 members. Today, SBAM indicates that small businesses can join their force of 30,000+ strong and become a part of the premier organization for small business owners in Michigan..

Even at that time, Mr. Fowler saw the value of nurturing small businesses. Their perspective at the time reflected the early optimism as Michigan and the nation was starting to dig out from the “Great Recession”. Digging out of a recession has some lessons for Michigan as it looks to emerge from COVID-19.
