Previous Speaking Experience
An experienced speaker with past engagements including:-
StartUp BizCast "The Small Business Advice Podcast That's Shorter Than Your Coffee Break" Local, state, and federal U.S. government contracts are NOT easy to get. However, they tend to bring in good money, particularly for small business owners who aren't used to multi-thousand or million dollar deals. And, it's unlikely our government is going to go out of business any time soon - a major consideration in this economy!
