Welcome to The BDO Show! A podcast for passionate BDOs wanting to level up their game with advice and stories from battle-tested BDO's.

Some BDOs succeed while others fail. Why is that?

BDOs who falter often do so because they are ill-prepared for the challenges they face. Success in the SBA space isn't just about knowledge or contacts; it's about adopting a flexible approach and pushing through the hard times. Only then can one transform setbacks into stepping stones for success.

The hosts also discuss the power of proactive outreach as well as support and mentorship.

You'll want to stayed tuned on how President Chris Hackney motivates young BDOs to build great habits in their outbound efforts.
