Each week for the past 52 weeks, I've interview West Virginia business leaders and shared their success stories with listeners all across America on our podcast.

In 2018, we reached tens of thousands of listeners and readers through our podcast, and print stories. Our analytics indicate that our audience was more than 1.8 million, including, social media, website viewers, iTunes and Google Play and print through NCWV Media.

I want to help change the perception about West Virginia and highlight positive things happening in business in our state.
