    <title>Small Business Advocate</title>
    <link>http://www.smallbusinessadvocate.com/</link>
    <description>Jim Blasingame is the creator and host of the nationally syndicated weekday Radio/Internet talk show, The Small Business Advocate, on the air since 1997.  Jim has assembled the largest community of small business experts in the world -- he calls them the Brain Trust -- and he interviews at least one of them every half hour on his show. We know that small business owners face both opportunities AND challenges every day. That's why we've created a community where entrepreneurs can find ideas, answers, encouragement, and perhaps even some inspiration to help them have the maximum opportunity to be successful.
Jim Blasingame is the nexus of this community which includes hundreds of experts he's assembled, and which we call the Brain Trust. The resources you can link to from the website deliver on-demand support for small business owners featuring Jim, the Brain Trust members, and their information in multi-media formats, including multiple streaming audio options, as well as the written word. </description>

        <description>Leslie joins Jim again to continue their discussion of how to install the quality process in your small business. But first, they discuss more of the history of the quality process around the world in the 20th Century, with emphasis on how America lost it's competitive edge during the 70s and 80s. One of the issues discussed is the importance of the person at the top of the organizational chart being totally sold on the installation of a quality process in order for that philosophy to really create positive results. These visits with Leslie are VERY important. Be prepared to gain new perspectives that will change the way you think about managing your company.</description>
