Welcome back to Behind the Win. Today’s conversation is about something every business owner feels but not always knows how to navigate: regulation, policy, and having a voice in the system. We’re talking about what it actually takes to cut through the red tape and create an environment where small businesses can grow and compete. Joining me today is Trent Staggs, regional advocate for the US Small Business Administration Office of Advocacy, representing Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. In this role, Trent serves as a direct voice for small businesses, working to influence policy, reduce regulatory burden, and make sure business owners are heard at the federal level. He also brings experience as the former mayor of Riverton, Utah, giving him a unique perspective from both local leadership and national advocacy.
