In this episode of Take-Away with Sam Oches, Sam re-shares a conversation he had with Maria Rivera, CEO of Smalls Sliders, on a visit to her office in Atlanta last summer. Smalls has enjoyed incredible success since this interview first aired, and NRN is excited to announce that Maria will join Smalls and Walk-On's founder Brandon Landry, as well as Morven Groves of 10 Point Capital, for the keynote conversation at NRN's Investment Summit this Oct. 8-9 in Nashville.
