If you own, run, or dream of building a business in Northern Arizona, this episode of The Collective Cast Podcast was made for you.
In “Thriving in the Quad Cities: Real Talk on Running a Small Business,” I (Lizzy McNett, Elevate Business Solutions) sat down with three local leaders who are living the ups, downs, and hard-won wins every day:

We kept it raw and practical—no fluff, just the real stuff:
- How to build a resilient team when everyone’s competing for talent
- Navigating local market shifts, supply chain headaches, and economic uncertainty
- Turning everyday challenges into long-term competitive advantages
- The partnerships and community ties that actually move the needle in Prescott, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, and beyond
