  • Glenside Pizza

    Awesome time on the podcast with Bruce. Loved talking shop and sharing my story. I hope it reaches the right people and helps motivate somebody who really needs it.

    Bruce’s videos helped inspire me, so I’m forever grateful. He’s super easy going and has a calm demeanor that makes any awkwardness quickly disappear. Combine that with all his industry experience and that’s the perfect recipe for an amazing podcast host!

  • Slice is a terrible and sketchy company

    Slice and all their affiliations including this podcast should not be supported. They don’t help small businesses and actually hurt them by being a 3rd party payer system. They also give out people’s (who use their service to order through a local company) information including address and phone numbers out to strangers with no verification so customers are able to be harassed by scammers. Slice provides no accountability of these sketchy practices.
