Description
I created this podcast so that I could do one of my favorite things; talk to business owners.
I love hearing about the obstacles and successes of business ownership. I look for inspiration, community and tidbits to apply to my business in the experiences of others and I wanted to share those conversations.
Our guests are from all stages of business ownership and I think each one has the ability to give us all something to aspire and inspire to in pushing ourselves and our businesses forward! I will also be providing insight, expertise and answering questions on taxes & accounting to keep things fresh and exciting.
Yes, I think taxes and accounting are exciting dont judge me.
