This Is Small Business

Andrea Marquez

Booking Overview

This is a founder-focused entrepreneurship interview series about the practical, personal realities of building small businesses, featuring external founders and creators sharing how they developed products, tested ideas, and grew brands. Strong pitch candidates include small-business founders, consumer-product entrepreneurs, and creators with credible lessons from launching, marketing, or scaling a company; booking difficulty is likely low because the show favors accessible working entrepreneurs rather than high-profile executives.
