I Can Do That! - Learning From TV
It’s a podcast for movie fans.
It’s a podcast for business owners.
And if you’re a business owner who loves movies… YABBA DABBA DOO!
This is I Can Do That!, the podcast that asks the most important question of all:
“Can you become a better business owner, earn more money and be successful by watching TV?"
From questionable management ethics to ridiculous sales advice, join us (Claire and Al, hello!) as we plunder the biggest blockbusters, dodgy sequels and baffling plotlines for the best — but mostly worst — business lessons Hollywood ever put on film.
Shut your spreadsheet, grab some popcorn and get ready for laughs, plot twists and just enough drama to make you suspicious you’ve actually learned something.
