MA Businesses Embrace Early Holiday Deals, and Community for Those in Recovery at The Phoenix

Have you noticed local businesses are starting to roll out the holiday shopping deals, even though we just got through Back to School? Jon Hurst, President of the Retailers Association of Massachusetts, joins Nichole on the show to talk about why that's happening. Jon also has an update on how businesses are faring through high inflation and threats of an upcoming recession. September is National Recovery Month, and The Phoenix has open doors for anyone who wants to take that first step to getting sober. The nationwide group has a big presence here in the Northeast, and Regional Director Sydney Durand has details on the "active community" they have to offer for anyone who wants it.
