Dear Deb, "I am an avid listener to WVOM, and truly enjoy your segments on the morning show with George and Rick. I have found your advice very helpful as I am a small business owner in Hancock County. At the very least, I have found vindication in a number of decisions I have made in the three years we have been in business, and I often find myself nodding in agreement at many of the things you discuss." ~~~ Got an idea for a future Back to Business show or guest?
