Steve goes over the wildest tax write offs and what the IRS may look into a little more! *Steve is not an accountant and all informations comes from a national article.

Business News Daily gives three tips in an article about how to market to college students.  I give my thoughts around this article.

This episode is all about the transformation of information.  Podcasting specifically is the last of the ways of communication that seems to be lagging behind, but it's well on its way! Here comes podcasting taking over the modern day radio as we know it. 

On a positive note the city of Chicago completely adopted out all shelter animals! WOW! Oklahoma City is following their game. With slick marketing and retargeting their market they have been able to capture a whole new audience of people. Don't be in the dog house alone, go adopt a puppy(or cat, or bird or tiger) and get you some quarantine and cuddles!

OKC did a great thing by creating a relief package for local metro area businesses. The even BETTER thing was the fact they realized they needed people smart enough to help allocate funds. So they look to private sector to help them! OKC governments are hiring small business consultants to help small businesses use funds appropriately. Lets get down to business on Episode 6!

Steve addresses the small business networking group https://www.facebook.com/groups/171827087235967/ and invites everyone on this podcast to join as well.

What is different about you than every other business? Let's take a look at price, customer service, etc

A recent Fox News article posted a comment from a local business about needing more government help. Here is my take on that article 

Larry Andrews once thought he had it all.  The senior class president and former athlete had a great family, bright future, and he became successful at an early age making lots of money; so much money that he lived an out-of-control lifestyle filled with booze, parties, and finally, drugs. But, his life imploded.  That's what meth does; it tears apart everything good and leaves the user with a life usually shattered beyond repair.  He faced a 20 year mandatory prison sentence and had to get his life back together behind bars.  You can find him here https://www.facebook.com/pg/AuthorLarryAndrews/about/?ref=page_internal or here; http://www.larryandrews.com/?fbclid=IwAR3UwSQLUP4ryWKXR36NN0UCOS5iKLAz7-A49eW4RwVpwjtovDqkN2YPx9U

Mike had a problem. His problem was that he moved from Wales to the United States, and upon graduating college realized he didn't have any connections in the business world.  He decided to start a podcast in hopes that it would introduce him to people in the community so that he could sell them real estate and it has far exceeded his expectations beyond that.  You can find him here  Insta- https://www.instagram.com/thisisoklahoma/?hl=en Podcast- https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/this-is-oklahoma/id1387331955 Website- https://medium.com/@thisisoklahomamedia/who-we-are-what-we-do-why-we-do-it-eb50325f61b7
