Who's Behind Small Town Hustles

My name is Cartez Augustus, a marketing guy who spent years in the big city before deciding the noise and grind were not for me. Moving back to a smaller community showed me that opportunity is everywhere, especially when you focus on the little moves that add up.

Small Town Hustles is where I share that journey. It is part personal story, part resource hub, written like a coffee shop conversation that stays casual, approachable, and focused on what works in real life.
