Ashley AldersonHOST
So do you want to start by just giving us the backstory of how did Heart on Main Street get started and what it is and the mission you serve?
P
1:12Patrick KeiserGUEST
We focus a good amount on education for retailers, but really kind of our or we've grown to be known for in that resiliency standpoint is disaster relief.
P
1:22Patrick KeiserGUEST
And so when we are talking about natural disasters that affect a community, I mean, it is devastating for that community.
P
1:30Patrick KeiserGUEST
And we often think a lot about the individuals there, right? So it's the homes, the people that are displaced, the different things that are going on that affect the community.
P
1:42Patrick KeiserGUEST
But oftentimes lost in that is the independent retailer and the small business that is affected.
