Truck Stop Cooking Talking
Above all there’s nothing like Truck Stop Cooking and Talking. Reviewing the Spring Break Road Trip so far in Truck-Stop-Cooking-Talking-Bob Davis Podcast 987.
No Small Talk
Most importantly I don’t do small talk.
Taking Stock
First of all as I think about the trip and some of the experiences so far it’s a good time to take stock.
The Flying J
Secondly the setting is a rather worn Flying J in Georgia, just off I-95 near the Florida border.
Driving All Day
Certainly I’ve been driving all day.
The Other Florida
People think of Florida as palm trees and beaches. And it has those things.
But much of Florida and especially northern Florida is largely rural and agricultural.
Recent Interviews and Experiences
Therefore my thoughts turn to one of the interviews in a recent podcast.
Holding Space
During the podcast I interviewed the owner of a coffee shop in a small town.
Someone who seemed to be doing what I call ‘holding space‘ for the community and her own passion for the work.
Take The Detour
Moreover this was one time where I allowed myself to take the detour and spend some time in the community.
Small Is Beautiful
Growth Obsessed
For instance small business people these days are beset with admonishments to grow.
Over Motivated
Even more we small business owners can be over motivated and ‘amped up’.
Win
Striving for growth. To win.
Losing Themselves?
On the other hand what if all this motivation causes a business person to lose themselves?
Community and Clientele
What happens to the community and the clientele as a result?
The Great Experience
In short we’re all looking for that ‘great experience’.
Where Does The Great Experience Come From?
In conclusion I am beginning to think that singular experience comes from business people who are more concerned with ‘holding a space’ or ‘holding space’.
Exceptional
To clarify ‘small is beautiful’ doesn’t mean poverty. It might just be a better way to create something truly exceptional.
Even more it’s not for everyone.
Small Can Be Beautiful
To sum up if you’re feeling down because your business isn’t on it’s way to being traded on the Dow, just remember small can be beautiful and truly special.
And A Pan Fried Steak
And so is a steak perfectly pan fried in the corner of a truck stop in Georgia.
