Welcome to Whiskey Fridays

Welcome to Whiskey Fridays

Whiskey Fridays is a collaboration between myself and my friend and colleague, John Garber. I, Kate, lead Wanderwell, an advisory and bookkeeping practice that supports thriving small businesses while investigating new ways of being in business. John is the principal of UnLawyer, where he provides legal counsel to small business owners at all stages, from startup to, as we'll talk about, wind down.

He and I share a deeply humanist view of business and work with many of the same clients from our complementary expertise and perspectives.

John and I started holding Whiskey Fridays as office neighbors a number of years ago, gathering to sip whiskey and talk business and life.

Our plan for now is to record a monthly episode to talk in depth on a theme. Between us, we have a few decades of experience and have worked with some thousands of small business clients. We want to share that experience with you, our listeners, and aim to be as helpful as we can along the way. I'll also be popping in for Boss Talks with other business leaders from time to time, usually as a complimentary conversation to whatever John and I are discussing.

This podcast is part of my newsletter and regular writing practice, which you can find at katetyson.substack.com
Stay tuned and thanks for listening.

 Hi, I'm Kate Tyson, and welcome to Whiskey Fridays.


Whiskey Fridays is a collaboration between myself and my friend and colleague, John Garber. I, Kate, lead WanderWell, an advisory and bookkeeping practice that supports thriving small businesses while investigating new ways of being in business. John is the principal of UnLawyer, where he provides legal counsel to small business owners at all stages, from startup to, as we'll talk about, wind down.

He and I share a deeply humanist view of business and work with many of the same clients from our complementary expertise and perspectives.

John and I started holding Whiskey Fridays as office neighbors a number of years ago, gathering to sip whiskey and talk business and life.

Our plan for now is to record a monthly episode to talk in depth on a theme. Between us, we have a few decades of experience and have worked with some thousands of small business clients. We want to share that experience with you, our listeners, and aim to be as helpful as we can along the way. I'll also be popping in for boss talks with other business leaders from time to time, usually as a complimentary conversation to whatever John and I are discussing.

This podcast is part of my newsletter and regular writing practice, published at katetyson. substack. com. We're in the middle of a thematic unit titled, Enough is Enough, A Summer of Failure. So guess what? We're going to talk about business failure. John, in my first episode, explores business closures, why they happen, but more importantly, how they happen.

Making the decision to close a business is never made lightly. It's a hugely emotional step to take. So John and I are going to get into the actual wind down. How does one close a business with a maximum of grace and a minimum of bridges burned?

Stay tuned and thanks for listening.
