Episode 4: Discussing Altalogy with Founder Dawid CedrychExplore the ideas and motivation behind starting and running a successful web design and development company. I would go as far as saying that Altalogy is the unsung hero in the the modern business world. Hear it for yourself. This is a company that focuses on modern day full stack web development for forward thinking companies. If you were to ask me who is the Facebook of this industry I would not be able to give you an answer. I think this is because the business of web development is frequently overshadowed by end product. Very rarely do we get to know the architect behind the building, if that makes sense. This is from an outsider perspective, of course. Some of you probably know architects like sports players!Enjoy listening to our conversation as we discuss topics like:-Purpose.-Coding in 2020-How Altalogy was formed-Business Growth Strategies-Discussion of recent project's-Content Recommendation'sLet us all give a huge thank you to Dawid and everyone at Altalogy for their commitment to not only their customers, but also to all of us who are listening. His unwavering commitment to the growth of entrepreneurs is the essence of what Breaking Through The Clouds is all about. It was a pleasure to get to know Dawid throughout this process and I hope that we were all able to take some value from this to use in our daily lives.Did you know? Altalogy actually used to be called something else! Read about why they changed names here.Follow Altalogy at:WebsiteFacebookTwitterLinkedInBlog - AltabitsFollow us at:WebsiteTwitterBlog

Episode 3: SciZenna with Founders Greg & BryanThe Keto Rash Cure & Creating a Product in the Skin Care IndustryPrior to recording this weeks podcast episode, I really had very little knowledge of Keto. I have spoken to people about it before who are involved, but was never really able to grasp the concept. If you have ever looked into this before, I am sure you can understand, because it is not like other diets. One thing that separated this duo from everyone else is how easy they made it all for me to understand. Not only were they able to help me understand Keto, they also provided me with valuable insight to what it is like creating a business in the skincare industry. What is the process like from the start and leading up to the product launch? Then what?These topics, along with other valuable tools & some light banter will make easy listening to help you along your journey. Let us all thank Greg and Bryan for their dedication to making a difference. Not only are they making headway in one of the toughest industries, skin care.
