This week, in episode 194, Shawn Busse, Jay Goltz, and Jaci Russo talk about the new rules that may\u2014or may not\u2014ban non-compete clauses, increase the number of employees who must be paid overtime, and eliminate TikTok in the U.S. How much would those changes matter to each of their businesses? What might the owners do differently? Do the changes make sense? And why does it so often seem as if it\u2019s small businesses that get caught in the cross-fire when the government tries to rein in abusive big businesses? On the question of non-competes, Shawn says he thinks they are often used by lazy businesses that haven\u2019t done the real work of building loyalty with employees and customers. Plus: Do Shawn, Jay, and Jaci ever regret starting a business? Have there been times when they\u2019ve thought about packing it in and trying something else? And also, are the terms \u201cbusiness owner\u201d and \u201centrepreneur\u201d interchangeable? Or do they carry different connotations? Might there be a better term? Jay thinks there is.
