Hi Alex. LOVE Smallbizpod and have listened to them all. Heard 34 today and really enjoyed it.Some of the tips I am learning are life changing not only inspiring and educational.
Ps I am In Devon not the USA!!Dont know how I got out there! Another great guy to listen to is Doug Smart and his very short (just over a minute) podcasts. This guy is amazing and really gets results.
Keep up the great work Alex. Ps also loved the music . How about some Monster by Midge Ure! It is pretty heavy stuff.?

Hi Caron, really good to hear from you. Sometimes the Frappr map does weird things as does my mind! Good to know you’re in Devon and good to know you’re enjoying the show. I really like Doug Smart’s podcasts too. Short, snappy and informative.
I’d love to play some mainstream music occasionally like Midge Ure, but copyright issues prevent me from doing so. At least the independent music I choose at the end of each show gives me a chance to expose some great, lesser known talent.
