    #22 - Your business is The Odyssey, you are Odysseus

    A metaphorical look at Homer's The Odyssey and how it can be used as inspiration for small business owners. TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@dttc_podcast Instragram - https://www.instagram.com/dttc_podcast/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100086801436290 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/don-t-touch-the-cat-b55269255/ During the podcast I mention that Odysseus kills the Cyclops. I know Odysseus didn't kill the Cyclops, I was kinda working from memory during the podcast, but yes he only blinded it as he needed it to move the boulder from the doorway. I may have been preoccupied with Ulysses who did kill his Cyclops, Odysseus was smarter than me. Will teach me to double-check my details next time. Hosted on Acast.
