To close @growwithco’s Small Business Day, attendees heard from Josh Cellars’ Founder Joseph Carr who shared his journey from a blue-collar town to building America’s No.1 premium wine brand. “That is an American dream,” he said.   His advice to small businesses: “You have to learn how to pivot…Surround yourself with really good people. Respect them, respect yourself. You can’t know everything and surround yourself with people who share your vision.”
