Episode 1

Discover the battle-tested strategies that can transform your business journey in 2024!

Welcome back! 

This is From Battle to Business with your host, Dean Van Dyke, and I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!   

We are kicking off season 2 of the podcast this week.   

We wrapped up season 1 last year with Paul Zolman and Embracing Love: Transforming Lives and Workplaces. If you have not had a chance to listen, I would highly recommend taking some time to listen to that episode. 

This past year, I've had the opportunity to meet some wonderful people on this journey, and I want to thank them for being a part of From Battle to Business. Most importantly, I want to thank our listeners for your support. Your support is what makes this all possible, so THANK YOU! 

Launching the podcast has been a fantastic journey. The numbers achieved in my first year of podcasting exceeded my expectations.   

I am genuinely excited for 2024, so stay tuned for our upcoming episodes with some fantastic content and guests.  

Again, thank you, and I wish all of you a happy new year!
