Why this podcast?

I was frustrated looking to find a podcast that answered the questions of local business owners.  Many times the larger podcasts aren’t designed for you, the little guy.  I believe I can change the world by helping one business at a time.  That is why this podcast exists.

How can you get the most out of your time listening to the podcast?

Download the action guide.  Do the work.  It’s simple, but it won’t be easy.  Ask for help when you get stuck or frustrated.
