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."
