In today's episode, Jessica and Kendall are back with another round of "Straight Talk" - answering your anonymous questions about rural business life. From the challenges of taking actual days off to phone addiction struggles with kids, competition anxiety, and imposter syndrome - they tackle these real issues with honesty and practical advice.

The hosts dive deep into what "balance" really means when you're building a business, sharing their different approaches to unplugging (or not). They also address the guilt many business owners feel about phone usage around their children, offering strategies they've personally implemented to manage this common struggle.

When it comes to local competition and copycats, Jessica and Kendall provide perspective on distinguishing between true copying and similar business models, along with tips for focusing on what makes your business uniquely yours. They wrap up with candid advice about raising prices - acknowledging it's a difficult but necessary step for sustainable business, sharing their different approaches to communicating price increases.
