Passion Over Profits | FlowCast #39 with Siam Grobler

I had a blast recording this episode of the podcast with Siam Grobler! Si is part of the Peterborough Chamber of Commerce member relations team, and a course instructor in social enterprise at Trent University while working on his MBA.

Want to learn more about how to start a podcast of your own?
