Shop Small: The Small Business Perspective

Affinity Federal Credit Union presents the Wellbeing And Your Wallet podcast! In this episode, expert hosts Shawn Lubitz and Grant Gallagher are joined by special guest Mark Prasnal to discuss the positive economic and community impacts of supporting small businesses.

The episode begins with a discussion about the hosts’ favorite small businesses and how they support their local community. They give shout outs to local restaurants, barbershops, food cooperatives, and more. They unpack why small businesses are so important to owners and customers and outline the resources Affinity provides to support them.

Following the main discussion, Grant pulled a submitted question from the member mailbag, and the team shared their responses: With the new year coming up, I’m thinking about getting my financial house in order but honestly don’t know where to begin. If you could recommend just one key financial goal to focus on for next year, what would it be and why?

Finally, Grant concludes the discussion by highlighting Affinity’s tools and financial wellbeing resources, including blogs, educational events & webinars, credit counseling tools, and more.
