Today's episode of the Learning from Smart People Podcast features an interview with Alicia Butler Pierre about how to develop your business infrastructure. She has written one of the only books on the subject and even though the topic seems quite dry, she made the information accessible and interesting. It's a topic not just for start up businesses but, as she stated during the interview, established businesses need to build better policies and procedures to increase profitability.
Here are a few of the topics you will learn about during this conversation between Alicia Butler Pierre and Rob Oliver:

Michael Gerber's book – The E Myth

Why developing a business infrastructure is imperative for established businesses
The seven key elements of business infrastructure
