A staggering 99.9% of US businesses have fewer than 20 employees. In fact, extra small businesses are now growing faster than any other category in the sector. As we transition to being more digitally and data-driven, small business owners have greater opportunities than ever before.

Kimmi Wernli is a second generation business owner to one of the oldest natural food companies in America – Crazy Richard’s Peanut Butter Company.
