Hello and welcome to the Fizzle Show, hey?

This is, of course, the Fizzle Show.

Every Friday, we publish another conversation about entrepreneurship,

building a thriving audience in the battle of supporting yourself doing something that you care about.

to fill in any gaps. Oh, hey, we had a malfunction with Corbett's microphone. I bring in his audio

from another mic in the room, but it doesn't have the quality you typically expect from this show.

I really apologize and would cut
