When I launched the Bonita Business Podcast, my goals were simple. I wanted to take you behind the scenes to meet some of the companies and business leaders right here in my chosen hometown of Bonita Springs, Florida.

I wanted to hear what's happening in their companies and careers, and I wanted to get their insights on what's happening in our local business community overall.

Well, if you've listened to our interviews this season, you know I got my wish.

In our first, pilot season, we met some awesome people. My thanks to all of our guests who told us their stories and shared ideas about our community. You can find all of the season one episodes on BonitaBusinessPodcast.com, or on wherever you're listening to the podcast right now.

So, after this first season of interviews, a few trends and ideas started popping out for me, and I wanted to share them with you.
