Welcome to the Down, But Not Out podcast! In this trailer, you'll meet your host, Nick Hollinger, and learn what Down, But Not Out is really about. 

The idea of Down, But Not Out was born after Nick's business, Visitor Queue, was dealt a death blow by Google. Through hard work and dedication, he was able to rebuild his business to be better than ever. Throughout this process, Nick realized that entrepreneurs don't talk about their mistakes, hardships, and changes in their industry that lead to impending doom for their business. On Down, But Not Out, we share those stories. The stories of pure resiliency where entrepreneurs had to fight to save their businesses after nearing death. These stories are meant to inspire future entrepreneurs while motivating current ones to keep fighting.
