Helping Local Businesses Thrive

Driven by Experience,
Focused on Family Business.

Hello, my name is Thaddeus Hardy. My journey began alongside my father at our family-owned record store, Hardy Boys Records.

I led the online growth, scaling monthly revenue to over $20,000 and gaining 30,000+ followers in just a few months. I saw firsthand the power of strategic marketing.

Now, with NextStep Marketing, I help small businesses—the backbone of our communities—reach their full potential. I'm also a skilled mechanic, so I know the value of hard work and precise tuning, whether it's an engine or an ad campaign.
