“Boost Your Business Radio With Rieva And Angie” Helps Entrepreneurs Succeed

June 29, 2009 - PRLog -- Irvine, Calif. –Aspiring and existing entrepreneurs are tuning in to wsRadio (www.wsradio.com) for a weekly radio show that helps them start and grow their own businesses.

“Boost Your Business Radio With Rieva and Angie,” hosted every Wednesday at 11 a.m. PST by small-business experts Rieva Lesonsky and Angie A. Swartz, features advice, interviews with guest experts, and myth-busting explorations of the truth about various small-business topics.

Lesonksy and Swartz held the first naming contest in wsRadio history, asking listeners to help them name their show, and received suggestions from all over the globe.

“We named our show ‘Boost Your Business Radio’ because we believe savvy small-business owners can not only survive, but thrive, in today’s Great Recession,” explains Lesonsky. “These are challenging times, but we’re here to help entrepreneurs take action and solve the problems they’re facing.”

“Both Rieva and I are all about boosting business owners in any way we can to ensure they succeed,” says Swartz. “Whether that’s by sharing success stories of other business owners and learning from their mistakes, by highlighting available business resources like SBA Bridge loans, or by bringing light to new tools like social media, we want it on our show. We know Boost Your Business Radio will quickly become the one-stop show where business owners know they can stop by for an hour and leave with a list of things they can do to improve their business over the next week.”

Past Boost Your Business Radio Hour shows are available as podcasts at wsRadio  (http://www.wsradio.com/internet-talk-radio.cfm/shows/Boos...). Past guests and topics that have been featured on the show include:
