  • How to entrepreneur from an entrepreneur

    David has been there, done that. He started his own business while raising a young family and shares what he’s learned along the way. He combines discussions on business development, software, strategy and startups with some D&D and personal anecdotes thrown in to produce a very listenable podcast.

    Give Biz/Dev a listen and a follow.
