DreTheCarpenter ,

so much good stuff!

Such an awesome podcast

Patrica.p ,

Great advice for ALL small business owners!

Every episode has some really insightful content that can honestly be applied to so many businesses. Listening to the podcasts on growth strategy, the hiring process and pricing systems have helped me with my own lightbulb moment. Highly recommend to anyone who feels like they could be doing better… as an employee or employer. Great tips for everyone plus they are short, sharp and funny.
