This Is Small Business

by Amazon

Welcome to This Is Small Business, an Amazon podcast hosted by Andrea Marquez—where we talk about entrepreneurship the way it actually feels: exciting, chaotic, personal, and honestly… kind of life-changing.

Follow along for unfiltered conversations with founders and creators as they open up about the wins worth celebrating, the messy middle nobody posts about, and the behind-the-scenes wisdom you won’t find in a textbook. If you’re dreaming, building, or just curious about how people actually make it happen—you’re in the right spot.
