The Check-In
by Revline
Forty-five minutes with a business owner, talking honestly about what's working, what isn't, and what they're doing about it. The ones who come back, check in every month so you can watch it play out.Most business shows end at the advice. This one starts a clock.Every guest brings what they sell and what it does in a month. Rough numbers are welcome and most of them are rough. By the end we know what's really going on, said out loud, in front of whoever is listening.Then they come back. Once a month we check in on the same business, in front of the same people, which is a very different thing from a founder telling you afterwards how it went.Hosted by Austin Coveney at Revline.Want to come on the show? book.revlinehq.com/apply
