Next week on the 14th of June Amazon will premiere their new podcast titled This Is Small Business.
The podcast pulls back the curtain on pivotal moments in the journey to success for small business owners across the U.S. Each new episode focuses on the most pressing challenges small business owners have faced, and how they learned from—and conquered—them on their path to scaling up.
Listening to the challenges that other small business owners are going through helps us not feel alone and makes the journey of building a small business even more exciting.
