In this episode of Wired Together, we sit down with Michael Vaughn, owner of Lakeside Butcher Shop in Bracey, VA, to talk about what small businesses bring to the table that big box stores and online giants just can’t:

  • Knowing your name and your order
  • Supporting ball teams, fire departments, and families in crisis
  • Bending over backwards to special-order what you actually need
  • Living that “choose your hard” life of 24/7 small business ownership

We also get honest about negative reviews, algorithms that make you “pay to play,” and why relationships built on trust, not just consistency, are the backbone of a healthy community—especially heading into the holidays.

Plus, Miles (our AI co-host) jumps in to run a round of The Slogan Game—from “Just Do It” to “The Happiest Place on Earth.”

If you’ve ever wondered whether it really matters where you spend your dollars… this one’s for you.
