Coffee & Collaboration: Local Business Leader Offers Free Conversations to Tackle Economic Uncertainty

As uncertainty continues to ripple through the economy and small business community, one local entrepreneur is brewing up a solution—over coffee.
​
Ryan Berry, founder of Berry Digital Solutions, is inviting local business owners and community members to stop by for a free, one-on-one conversation at their office located inside Dees Brew at 113 N. Main Street in downtown Urbana.

Through Berry Digital's work with over 200 clients, Berry says he has noticed a growing trend of uncertainty. “People are feeling unsure—about the economy, about how to support local businesses, and about what comes next,” he explains. “But what I’ve learned from so many conversations is that the way forward isn’t complicated—it’s community.”

A Local Approach to a Global Issue
With inflation, staffing shortages, and shifting market demands affecting small businesses across the region, Berry believes that honest, open dialogue is the first step toward solutions.

“This isn’t about selling anything,” he adds. “It’s about listening, learning, and figuring out how we can lift each other up. We all have ideas. When we share them, we spark momentum.”

Schedule a Chat
Whether you're a business owner, a community leader, or just someone with a vision for the future of your town, Berry invites you to grab a cup of coffee and chat.
