Hello and welcome to the Fizzle show.

All right.

Are you ready to rock?

Well, I'm not going to do that again.

This is The Fizzle Show every Friday.

We publish another conversation about entrepreneurship, building a thriving audience, and the battle of supporting yourself doing something that you care about.

Your hosts are Barrett Brooks, Steph Crowder, Corbett Barr, and me, Chase Reeves.

We run Fizzle.com training and courses and community supports to help you run a small business.

Try your first five weeks as a listener for the show for free when you go to Fizzle.com slash try five.
