Unlike other business-oriented podcasts, we will not give you “RA RA!” motivation. The purpose of this podcast is to provide you with actionable strategies and tactics that you can incorporate into your own business immediately.

Every week, we will interview a successful business owner and plunge into the mind of our guest for specific lessons learned in the course of business. In the second half of each episode, we will have that business owner join us for an in-depth discussion of a particular topic apropos to his or her business, and hopefully to yours as well.
