Jill Dudzinski recently sold her fashion truck business, hello ruby. It was such an amazing chapter of her life, but now it’s time for something new. She's taking all the lessons she's learned and diving into what she loves most: sharing the stories behind the small businesses that make our communities so special.
Jill will also be focusing on supporting small businesses and entrepreneurs through vendor event curation, boutique coaching, and growing A Local Collective, a community for Nebraska’s small businesses. Her mission is to help small businesses grow, thrive, and navigate the world of entrepreneurship with practical advice, resources, and connections.
In Behind the Business, Jill will be chatting with small business owners, entrepreneurs, and all-around inspiring people. We’ll talk about what it’s really like to build something from the ground up—the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Whether it’s figuring out how to get started, creating a standout brand, or navigating the crazy challenges that come with running a business, these are the stories that don’t always get told.
So, if you love supporting small businesses, have a dream of starting your own, or just want to hear some inspiring and relatable stories, this podcast is for you. Grab a cup of coffee (or your favorite drink), hit subscribe, and join Jill for Behind the Business.

In this episode, Jill Dudzinski welcomes back the fabulous Allison from NEAT
Method Omaha; professional organizer, chaos whisperer, and the magic behind Jill’s now-functional playroom and formerly terrifying “Monica closet” (yes, that closet). After working together to transform cluttered corners into calm, curated spaces, Jill and Allison dive into the behind-the-scenes of what it’s really like to work with NEAT Method. From the first consultation to the final, Pinterest-worthy label, they walk through the process, the perks, and the why-didn’t-I-do-this-sooner moments.
If you’ve ever wondered what a professional organizer actually does, how to tame the toy explosion, or whether it's weird to cry tears of joy over drawer dividers, this one’s for you.
Spoiler alert: organization might just be the self care move you didn’t know you needed.

Jill Dudzinski recently sold her fashion truck business, hello ruby. It was such an amazing chapter of her life, but now it’s time for something new. She's taking all the lessons she's learned and diving into what she loves most: sharing the stories behind the small businesses that make our communities so special.
Jill will also be focusing on supporting small businesses and entrepreneurs through vendor event curation, boutique coaching, and growing A Local Collective, a community for Nebraska’s small businesses. Her mission is to help small businesses grow, thrive, and navigate the world of entrepreneurship with practical advice, resources, and connections.
In Behind the Business, Jill will be chatting with small business owners, entrepreneurs, and all-around inspiring people. We’ll talk about what it’s really like to build something from the ground up—the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Whether it’s figuring out how to get started, creating a standout brand, or navigating the crazy challenges that come with running a business, these are the stories that don’t always get told.
So, if you love supporting small businesses, have a dream of starting your own, or just want to hear some inspiring and relatable stories, this podcast is for you. Grab a cup of coffee (or your favorite drink), hit subscribe, and join Jill for Behind the Business.
