The Beyond the Kitchen Table podcast with Marie Brown is for entrepreneurs and small business owners that want to build a successful business. One that is fully booked and a breeze to run. The show is a mix of solo episodes and interviews with other small business owners, because I believe we can learn from each other. I'll be sharing tips to help you make the most of your website and marketing tactics that work. I’ll also talk about how I run my business - the mistakes I’ve made, the tools I use and what has worked for me. You won't find any tech speak here. Everything is explained in simple terms. Each episode will have points for you to take away and action. Nothing too difficult or technical, but simple actions that can make a real difference to your ability to get fully booked.
