   Bonus Business Insights ft. Michelle Hudson

   Sorry for missing everyone last month, but we are back with another episode! This month, we welcome Michelle Hudson for a different episode than usual. For a season 3 we wanted to go a co-host route and brought Michelle on as a potential permanent. While you’ll have to tune in to see who the co-host will be, we still felt like the conversation Corey and Michelle shared could serve as a bonus episode to end season 2. Michelle’s passion for business is clear to see with most of her life being involved in some sort of capacity. Whether it’s management, to business and financial plans, or even helping her husband run his business, Michelle has dipped her toe into it all! Michelle provides us with some productivity tips that she’s seen results from along with some tricks for people struggling with time management. We also get to hear a lot from Corey as Michelle looks to him to answer a few questions of her own. Corey gives us his opinion on what he thinks good cashflow looks like for a business along with some stories of how he’s seen businesses with no control over their spending. Corey also shares his thoughts on what you can do to make sure you get paid for your service and setting boundaries with clients.

   Nurturing Business Growth: A Blueprint for Success ft. Damin Massicotte

   Thank you for joining us on another episode of #TheBusinessSpeakPodcast. This month, we are pleased to have Damin Massicotte with us to share his wide array of talents that led to him starting his own business Sidecrowd. Damin’s passion for training small businesses, and knowledge to back it up make this one of our most informative episodes yet! A big focus for this episode is the growth of small businesses and the importance of understanding your core values before taking on expansions. Both Damin and Mr. Chill have had experiences with clashing ideals. Not only are the values covered, but having proper business plans and processes can also lead to growing a team of people breathing your vision. Our episode ends with a conversation on how social media and AI play a role in the evolution of the modern business. We learn that most young entrepreneurs don’t have to rely heavily on outdated marketing techniques and networking groups. While the new advancements are so incredible, we also cover why both can have disadvantages too. We hope you enjoyed the episode, and we’ll see you again next month!
