Introduction
The Get Bizee podcast features candid conversations with entrepreneurs who've built businesses from the ground up. Each episode covers the real moments — the wins, the hard pivots, and the lessons that don't show up in business books. If you're starting a business or already running one, there's something here for you.
What the Get Bizee podcast is about
The Get Bizee podcast is a series of honest conversations with entrepreneurs about what it actually takes to start and run a business. Guests share the full picture — not just the highlight reel. Episodes cover everything from early-stage decisions to the moments that nearly derailed everything.
Entrepreneurship looks different for everyone. Some guests turned a side project into a full-time business. Others rebuilt after a setback. A few took an unexpected path — like converting a for-profit into a nonprofit. What they share is a willingness to talk about it honestly, which is what makes each episode worth your time.
What you'll hear in each episode
Each episode focuses on one entrepreneur's story, told in their own words. The conversations are unscripted and cover the decisions that shaped their business — including the ones they'd make differently.
- How they got started and what pushed them to take the leap
- The early challenges that tested whether the business would survive
- Specific decisions — on money, hiring, pivoting — and what happened next
- What they know now that they wish they'd known at the start
The podcast draws guests from across industries and regions, including local entrepreneurs from places like San Bernardino and the Coachella Valley. The variety is intentional — building a business looks different depending on where you are and what you're building.
