Welcome. I am Ed Beharana and you've arrived at the Business Buffet podcast where you get a taste of business from entrepreneurs who've had both good and bad moments in business.

You'll learn from business chefs of all type, those things they would have done different and figure out how those ingredients might

help your personal recipe for success. Grab a plate and take a seat. It is time to eat hearty
