    Loved it when they were interviewing real people and business, the Job Shop Express series is almost painful to listen too, sounds like it was written and performed by junior high schoolers.

    Hoping they will get back to their previous format.

  • Ep80 was great!

    Just wanted to say thanks for all the wisdom shared on the podcast. Episode 80 has been my favourite so far as a fellow small shop owner trying to figure out pricing and how to make some cash at this business. Really appreciate all the sharing in this one!
