Business Jazz

This is a rebroadcast of an episode from the second season of Business Jazz. It first went live on 8th August, 2013. The original show notes (beware of outdated information): TOPICS: The podcast is put on hold. All good things come to an end. Or at least have the Pause button pushed. So it is with this podcast as well. Producing a podcast takes time and energy. We knew that going in. However, our schedules have conspired against us and we find ourselves needing to focus our attentions elsewhere. For the moment, any road. Will the podcast return? We can't say it won't, but we don't want to give false hope either. For now, we'd just like to say "Thank you" to you for taking the time to listen to the podcast. We truly appreciate that you did. It means more to us than you can ever imagine. You star.
