About Our Show

Most businesses fail. We are here to change that! We want to help provide the SPECIFIC expert advice needed to help entrepreneurs fix and clean up their “messy back-ends”. Our goals is to work directly with our entrepreneur listeners on specific issues, not just general topics that you’ll find everywhere else.

Our podcast is not like any other you have listened to. It’s more like a game show, lots of humor, and super entertaining… most importantly you’ll learn a ton!

Guest Entrepreneurs will join us either in person or on the phone, or they are even welcome to remain anonymous if they choose. They will share a struggle they are having in their business and our experts will give them advice for what to do next.

The real key to making this Podcast a huge success is when we invite our entrepreneurs to come back and share their results! This way we can see if the advice is working and if not, we can dig deeper to find out why and go even farther to help support the entrepreneur to success.

We ALL learn from working on our messy back-ends together!
