Entrepreneur’s Best Friend Podcast
Welcome to The Entrepreneur’s Best Friend Podcast — the show built for entrepreneurs who want real answers without the fluff.
If you learn best in short, focused bursts, you’re in the right place. This podcast features one‑on‑one conversations only. No talking over each other. No noise. Just clear, straight‑to‑the‑point discussions about the things new and growing entrepreneurs actually need to know.
In business, there’s a saying: “What you don’t know can’t hurt you.” That couldn’t be more wrong. What you don’t know can cost you everything — your business, your dreams, and your life savings. Bad decisions can leave lasting damage, and too many entrepreneurs never fully recover.
My name is Michel Battles. I’m a Kansas businessman and entrepreneur, and I believe in total transparency. Nothing in life is free. I’m sharing my business knowledge with you in hopes that one day, when you need it, I’ll earn the opportunity to be your insurance agent.
Thank you for listening, and if you find value here, please tell a friend. Entrepreneurs shouldn’t have to build alone — and you don’t have to.
