Making Cents of It All
Podcast that makes sense of the things people do to make cents...
Making Cents of It All with Jesse Stakes gives the spotlight to the small businesses that make America run. We look to share the "why" behind why people choose what they do professionally and showcase their expertise in their chosen profession for the benefit of our audience.
We also dive into the services that support those small businesses and provide information on the technology and services that allow them to do what they do each and every day effectively and more efficiently.
Making Cents of It All with Jesse Stakes looks to help businesses succeed financially and give them the spotlight while doing so!
