The Summer House

A free audio series.

The details are still under wraps, but here's what I can tell you:

Picture a small summer house on a lake.

The air is sweet and fresh.

We can hear the whistling and chirping of the birds, and the rustle of the leaves.

There's a porch in the back that looks out onto the water.

This is my imaginary summer house, and as they tend to do when you have a lovely place like this, people drop by.

In this case, cool, interesting people.

And we sit on the porch, look out onto the lake, and chat.

We chat about their businesses and what sustains them.

And you? You pull up a chair and listen in.

Each week, you'll be able to download a recording of our conversation.

And it's free.

It's going to be a great summer.
