March is National Reading Month, and what better way to celebrate for the Roaches to celebrate than by talking about the books that impacted their business journey? Whether it is celebrating the qualities of a successful entrepreneur, or the biography of a company's founder, Hannah and Ariel give their best recommendations for the must read books for any business journey.

In this episode, Hannah & Ariel recap what can only be described as a beautiful disaster of a year that was 2025: wildly stressful, personally chaotic, professionally bananas… and somehow still one of their most profitable years in business. They break down the big highs, the messy lows, the “are we okay?” moments, and the decisions they’re proudly taking credit for (plus the ones they wish they could pretend never happened). Instead of their usual “Win of the Week,” the Roaches go big with their “Win of the Year” - because after surviving twelve months like this, they earned it. If you want a brutally honest and hilariously unfiltered year-in-review from two founders who lived through absolute madness and still kept the business alive (and thriving), this episode is your end-of-year therapy session. Tune in for honesty, chaos, and a reminder that profitable doesn’t mean peaceful.

In this episode, Hannah & Ariel dig into Guidant Financial’s 2025 Small Business Trend Report and give their unfiltered, founder-real take on what the data says - and what it actually feels like in the real world. They break down the trends they fully agree with, the ones they side-eye a little, and the “huh… interesting” insights. If you want a fun, honest, founder-friendly review of this year’s biggest small biz trends (before we roach our way into 2026), this episode is for you.
