No hype. No guru talk. Just real conversations about: • Scaling a small business • Working capital strategy • Alternative financing • Risk management • Hiring and firing decisions • Cash flow discipline • Profitable growth • Leadership under pressure • Building partnerships that last If you’re a small business owner, entrepreneur, startup founder, operator, or executive looking to grow smarter - this show is for you.
