  • 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!
