Recessions are scary. Yes, we hear experts say that recessions are a good time to start a business, but experts have been wrong before. What about people who have actually done it? Listen to this 4 minute interview with the Great Harvest Bread owner in Wenatchee, WA for her side of the story.

Anyone else have a recession start-up story to share? Or any stories about Chris & Kyle's bakery?
I'm Debbie Huber. I love great bread, nice people and authentic businesses. As a veteran employee at Great Harvest, I've met amazing small business owners and eaten a lot of whole wheat bread. I've even baked it myself, and there is not much in life that is more immediately satisfying than pulling trays of your own bread out of the oven. Except maybe watching people put butter on a steaming slice, enjoy that first bite and say "wow! Just like my grandma used to make..." or "this is whole wheat? But it tastes so good..." In my free time I enjoy exploring Montana, golfing with my family and teaching business-related classes as an adjunct faculty member at the University of Montana - Western.
