Welcome to Business Bricks and Builders, a podcast about businesses, the people who make them, and the economic foundations they rest upon. Your hosts are two cousins who have lifelong curiosity for how the economy works, and the people who are hustling day after day to pursue their dreams, to pay their bills, and to bring home the bacon. Though we touch on some complex topics that are happening in the world we try to keep the show as easy to follow as possible with lots of fun and the occassional guest. After all, we are learning right along with our listeners.
