You don’t need an LLC to start consulting. You just need a person with a problem. In this episode, Dale shares the story of how his first consulting job came from a simple question at BellSouth—and how you can take the same steps to earn your first $... more
Most people think starting a business begins with paperwork — setting up an LLC or filing a business license. But that’s not starting a business. That’s formalizing one.

Dales is great! He has a practical way of delivering his guidance in a simple to digest manner. His points are so relevant to the mundane business world we live in today. If you want to escape the routine, and grow, listen to Dale!!
I went through the graduate program under Dale and it totally changed my perspective/attitude on my career, goals, and life. This podcast has been great at continuing to challenge & make me think outside the box. It’s so easy to slip back into the normal thinking that comes with an 8-5 day job and this podcast is great for keeping me aligned. It’s your life. There’s a world or possibilities out there. Keep up the good work and never stop pressing Dale.
If you want to shift the vector of your career.... and your life, this is the podcast for you. Dale has a way of combining positive and practical constructive criticism with motivation, encouragement and how-to. Company of One flips the tables upside down and will give you a new perspective on self, life, and work. His angles may be unconventional but his results can’t be denied. Of course I may have a bias considering I’m a student of his university executive masters degree program. Since disc... more

I had Dr. Callahan as a professor at UAB and his advice helped me gain a career. I am always sharing his website with others. Great way to help people to get started before they're ready!
The information Dale presents has been very beneficial in my job/career search. I recommend Dales website and podcast to everyone. The benefits from his knowledge and expertise are without compare.
Love listening to Dale Callahan! So informative and interesting! Thanks for doing this show, looking forward to the next episode already! Best from Germany, Cathrin
Dale’s podcast is full of wisdom and practical insights not just on entrepreneurship (though there’s tons of that), but also on living a purposeful life. Dale has a refreshing perspective on work and I learn a lot from each episode. You can listen on the run if you want, but to get the most out of his podcast grab a pen and paper so you can take notes! Highly recommended.
Dale never fails to give strait foward, well thought out advise on improving your self as an entrepreneur or the want to be entrepreneur. Dale gives out a wealth of knowledge and seems to have a sencere desire to help his fellow man/woman. Thanks.
I love the podcast Dr. Callahan. I have always wanted to be an entrepreneur/inventor. Your podcasts are reigniting my entrepreneur spirit. We meet briefly when I was exploring the IEM program at UAB. I am a UAB alumni (2001) that started my educational journey with a desire to have degrees in both computer science and electrical engineering. However, during my sophomore year at the United States Military Academy, I ran into a road block called the laplace transform. I figured I could be a mechan... more
Dale's style of communication is not emotional hype, rather it is practical and inspirational. He is not doing this solely for the money, but to truly help other people achieve their dream lifestyle.
I love when I stumble across a podcast that has practical and usable information in it. Dale has done a great job of providing valuable information which I can use on a regular basis. Thanks for sharing Dale, keep up the good work.
I have been listening to entrepreneur podcasts for quite many years, I have finally discovered Dale and his truly inspiring podcasts. He doesn’t shy away from sharing his now personal journey, which, sometimes contrary to other podcasters, shows his human side and makes him all the more relatable. He knows what you are going through, and his pragmatic and applicable advice will help you all the way.
Dave's podcast episode: Ship it, is a life changer and an absulute must if you are an entrepreneur or planning to be one. The talk is going to wake you up and give you some essentials on how to start/run your business and where not to make mistakes.
I really enjoyed listening to Dale’s take on this subject and I think it is a very serious and important one in our culture today. In our society today , being overwhelmed, which can bring on anxiety to maybe depression is a serious subject. People need to learn to be more introspective about themselves and learn how to help themselves handle it rather than paying psychiatrists or turning to pills to get out of those states of mind. As Dale points out, venting can be a short term solution, b... more
