Hi, we’re Chrissy and Ryan McCrary, spouses and business partners running a coffee shop and bar in Greenville, SC called Mountain Goat. We’re here to bring you along for the roller coaster of running a business together. We’ve experienced firsthand the loneliness of running a business - even together. We’re here to help you feel less lonely in your journey. Whether you run a business with your partner, on your own, or are just thinking of starting your journey. Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at not only our business but of other partners' businesses together and those that are on their own.
