Elevate and Expand is a podcast where small business owners can find the community, guidance, and accountability needed to grow a successful business.
As an entrepreneur, you have responsibility for pretty much everything in your business – but that doesn't mean you have to figure out everything on your own.
In each episode, we’ll dive into the hard-earned experience of emerging and experienced business owners to keep you from having to re-invent the wheel.
Meet our host: Terry Rice is a husband, father, biz dev consultant, and staff writer at Entrepreneur Magazine.
