Customer Reviews
Every Small Business Owner-Listen up!
Nick and Johnny (Battle) have great hard won wisdom, and weave it into interviews in a way that really works. If you're looking for a taste of the show, check out the interview with Tom Shane. Great look at the dance of head and heart it takes to run a small business. Dig in!
Blue Dot promos
Great Show! So much excellent information.
Really great stuff!
I have been listening to this podcast for a couple weeks now and the thing that keeps me listening is how real these guys are. It's fun and refreshing to listen to two genuine small business owners talking about the realities of small business, both good and bad.
Sometimes I learned something new, and other times I just have fun relating to the struggles and successes of other small business owners. If you are a small business owner yourself then you will know what I mean. If you're not yet a small business owner, but want to be, then you'll get it someday.
I live the realities of small business every day and it can be very refreshing to hear two guys talking and sometimes joking about small business topics that I can really relate to. Sometimes listening to the episodes almost feels a little like small business therapy.
Thanks Nick and Johnny for taking the time to put out great content. Five stars. Keep up the good work.
