We hope to shed some real life clarity on what it means when you decide to support your local businesses. We hope to give an idea of what day to day life is like as a small business owner/entrepreneur as well as debunking myths around small businesses. We will be discussing both the struggles and successes with each business venture as well as provide real world tips to those looking to start their very own venture. Today we have Brian Flowers. Owner of Table Top Cafe, which was started on Oct 26, 2013. The is the first board cafe of it's kind. It was a business born from a idea amongst friends over a night of gaming. But as partners backed out, Brian took on this venture himeself. He has created as a comfortable place where people can meet with friends, play a game, share a drink and connect face to face. Being a board gamer himself he has provided a place where friends and family can discover that there is more than just Monopoly when you are having an urge to come together and get your game on.  What we discuss: - How Brian got into board gaming. - Brian's background as a poker dealer - What a board game cafe is - Difficulties of starting a business that is a new concept in industry - How the covid-19 pandemic impacted business - Theme named businesses - Picking the right name for your business - and much more!!
