Russ and John present the show about those people who build companies, hire people, make taxpayers and do the important stuff. Those red light cameras are really something! Includes: The BusinessMakers Quote of the Week—great advice from Napoleon Bonaparte; This Week in Business History includes renown personalities Christopher Columbus, Henry Ford and revolutionary Che Guevara; and the Jargon Challenge Round—trendy technospeak that YOU should know, but John doesn’t. (And he was SO CLOSE!)

Dayna Steele - Author and Entrepreneur

Recognize the name? She was our favorite deejay on KLOL! Dayna Steele is a motivational speaker, author, she is in the Radio Hall of Fame, a blogger on FastCompany.com. She founded a “space store!” Allison Triarsi interviews a fearless woman of many talents, a true serial entrepreneur. Dayna was absolutely convinced that she could do anything—and she was right! (That’s the motivational speaker coming out.) You gotta believe you’re a rock star!

Las Damas Estate Winery

Russ interviews the founders of Las Damas Estate Winery in Austin County, TX. Three generations of women, each with a different area of expertise, have joined together to grow their vineyard into a winery. And perhaps an inn. And maybe a restaurant, a spa or an entertainment venue. At this point, the sky is the limit as they visualize their growth and expand their fundraising effort.
