Welcome to the very first episode of the BusinessOwnersOnline.com Podcast!

WOW! Just to think that about 2-3 weeks ago, we barely had a clue what we were doing with podcasting and now we have a full fledged podcast. I think the production quality of it is solid (better than 90% of the other podcasts out there), but we are going to continue tweaking it along the way to keep making it better and better.

In this episode:
- I had the chance to interview Fiona Ramsey from Kiva.org and find out all the amazing things that they are up to with Kiva. This is a non-profit that is exploding and you will find out how you can make a difference in the life of an entrepreneur for an investment as small as $25.
- Found out how Paypal is making an incredible difference with it’s contribution to Kiva.
- We got our Tip of the Week from John Harmon of Stakked Designs
- and much more!

Many of them are on their own and some are getting very forgetful the older they get.
