Mike:   This is Mike.
Grant:  And this is Grant.
Mike:   And welcome to this episode of the EcomCrew podcast.  How’s it been going, Grant?
Grant:  It’s been going pretty good.  It’s 90 and hot in Seattle, so I wish I could sell some frozen yogurt.
Mike:   Fro-yo.
Grant:  Yeah, if it weren’t such a horrible industry.  So how about yourself?
Mike:   Yeah, things are going well.  It was hot here for a couple days, but San Diego remembered it was San Diego, so it’s beautiful again.  And yeah, besides that, I think we talked about it on the podcast at some point, we had s shipment show up that had mold in it that we’ve been dealing with that was fun to deal with.  On top of that, I’ve been dealing with accounting, so those two things together make me a little cranky, but we’re on the tail end of that now and that’s definitely a good thing for me.
Grant:  That sounds like leech in the eyeballs in more ways than one, so…
Mike:   Yeah.  And we got an industrial shrink wrap machine, so if you ever need anything re-shrink wrapped, I’m your man.

Mike:   Cool.  So yeah, one of our most successful episodes has been the Cash is King I think is actually what we titled it.  And we had a bunch of listener questions kind of come out of that, so we’re just going to spend today talking more about cash being king and just answering some questions that came in.  So let me throw the first one at you, Grant, and we’ll just kind of kick it off from there and run back and forth through these.  The first one is, “How do I build business credit?”
Grant:  That’s always a great question, and for a lot of people starting a business, not everybody has a lot of cash available, so credit is really dependent on the person,]]> Mike Jackness clean 40:10 1341
