A Christmas Message - 2020
Thursday Dec 17, 2020
Thursday Dec 17, 2020
2020 has been a year that won't soon be forgotten. With Christmas around the corner, it's our desire at the Down to Business Podcast to spread a message of peace, hope, and love. We'll be taking a break for the holidays, so be sure to tune-in for our next episode on January 7th.
From Alex Kirby and the Down to Business Team, we wish all of you a Merry Christmas.
Why the Down to Business Podcast?
"I started the Down to Business Podcast to help other small business owners navigate the trials and celebrate the victories that come with a company. Small business owners all over the country are so gifted at their craft, but struggle with the secondary tasks like accounting, marketing, business strategy, vision casting, and so much more. That's why the Down to Business Podcast exists, to give small business leaders a resource they can learn from while remaining on the go.
We're blessed to have you as listener, and we believe this podcast over time can make you a better business owner, friend, spouse, and leader."
- Xander Kirby -
