  • So helpful!

    I’ve owned a practice for over 20 years but I still listen to Oli every week. His insights are very valuable and have helped me view this industry differently!

  • A great podcast for small businesses

    As a clinician who runs a small mobile hearing clinic with no business or marketing background, I find this podcast informative, helpful, and quite funny. Oli is very down to earth and I love that he finds a way to share his expertise in marketing while still being a regular guy who just wants to help people make a difference, all while taking down the large manufacturer owned chains. I love listening each week during my drives around Calgary in between patients!
