Lauren had the idea for this show based on her experience as a business owner running Live Dream Colorado. While often exciting, liberating, and rewarding, running a business has a lot of unique challenges that sometimes only other business owners can understand and help with. We, as business owners, are always searching for ways to take our products and service to the next level.

Toward that goal, Lauren designed the podcast as a success-building platform. It’s a jumping-off point for meaningful discussions in the Colorado Springs business community among leaders and aspiring leaders who want to help one another become better, share advice on avoiding and solving problems in business, lend a hand to aspiring business owners, and give back to their community through their unique knowledge and experience.

Another great thing about local business owners is that they are often very familiar with the community. They have great suggestions of where to go and what to do for fun, entertainment, and recreation, as well as for business networking and for volunteering, donating, and contributing.

The focus of the interviews is on the small business owner’s and entrepreneur’s journey. By speaking with them about their journey to becoming a leader, we all get to learn an incredible amount from their successes, failures, experiences and advice.
