Welcome to Business Buffet, a unique podcast crafted to disseminate insightful business knowledge in an engaging auditory format. My name is Ed Bejarana, the creator of Business Buffet, where we sample a myriad of topics designed to fortify and uplift your business.
For over 17 years, I've run my home-based business, Zenith Exhibits, Inc., successfully. This self-employment journey has enriched my life and that of my wife of 33 years. The challenges of starting a small, home-based business can be daunting. Sharing experiences of how I survived, and even thrived financially, through the process, I believe, is of immeasurable value. Business Buffet is my tribute to the business community that has supported and nurtured me for over the years.
I also hold a deep passion for aiding visually impaired individuals by producing content beneficial to entrepreneurs struggling with vision. Existing narrated tools for the blind, available through various commissions, often operate in isolation and don't amalgamate to effectively aid a business start-up's success.
An interesting anecdote led me on this path. A friend asked me to record a magazine article for him. Inquisitive, I suggested he could avail the service from the Idaho Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired, but he preferred the connection he felt to the content through my voice. After recording and sharing an article from Inc. Magazine, he sought to share these audio files with his entrepreneur friends. Voila! Business Buffet for the Blind was born!
My vision is to provide captivating business development content for both sighted and non-sighted individuals. I've reached out to business-centric magazines like Forbes and Inc., but obtaining permissions has been an uphill battle. Distributing these files manually became arduous, prompting me to revamp my previous podcast, Business Buffet, into an inspirational auditory platform for the visually impaired, aiming to inspire and inform through business content.

I have to tell a story. I created this series because I'm producing a podcast for a young woman who I recently picked up life and moved back to Germany. She was born in Germany, but 30 some years ago, left moved to Canada and then migrated to America. She felt like she was returning home. I was producing a podcast for her m still, it's called The Power life coach. And her journey is talking about the struggles that she's had with this decision of moving back to Germany and why it's important. And we've been producing the podcast, and she's a life coach. So she hasn't, at this point, been getting a lot of traffic. And she felt business blogging, or adding a blog to her component might help. She had been primarily marketing on LinkedIn. When we got into the realm of business, blogging, as I do with all of my customers, I went back to the marketplace, and I did my research. Now, I've been blogging since blogging became fashionable. Back in 90s, late 90s, I checked out the technology to see what it would offer the small business owner, for the person who just wants to journal and make that public blogging is very easy to understand. For the business owner. It's actually quite confusing. What do I blog about? My blog about personal stuff? Do I blog about business? Do I blog about the sales that are coming up? What do I, what do I talk about? And as I was consulting my client, I was getting those exact same questions. And I thought, you know, what I need to do is freshen up all of that stuff that I've taught over the last 20 years, and come up with a succinct presentation that folks can kind of sink their teeth into and get a better understanding. business blogging, really, it's it's not so much as a documented plan. As is an authentic personal presentation of your business services. Your story is unique. And telling that story as part of your blog builds affinity between you and your potential customer. Now, they may not be a customer, yet. They're already customers, they come to get additional information on the services you offer. But capturing leads, that's the magic of blogs. And when you start blogging about the story of your business, you will capture the interest of people, especially when those stories are wrapped around an education that they can take away. I think this nine part series shows the most important element is to give away knowledge, you have knowledge in your head. Now, if you value that knowledge with dollars and cents, if that knowledge will only be parted at a price, then business blogging is not for you. But like my client who now lives in the Southern Alps of Rivera via blogging is about imparting her life's knowledge on her listeners on her friends. He doesn't view them as clients, she views them as friends. And if you and your business can transcend that business client relationship, and get to the point where your friends zerena relationship, a friendship. The business blogging is for you.
