In our second installment of the Small Business Starter Kit series - we’re tackling a topic that’s sometimes tricky, sometimes confusing, but ever-present: taxes. Hosts Austin and Jannese have an insightful conversation with entrepreneur Isabella Rosal who started 7th Sky Ventures , an exporter and distributor of craft spirits, beer, and wine. Having lived and worked in two different countries and started a company in a heavily-regulated field, Isabella is no stranger to navigating the paperwork-laden and jargon-infused maze of properly understanding taxes for a newly formed small business. Join us as she shares her story and provides valuable insight into how to tackle your business’ taxes - so they don’t tackle you.

The saying "the show must go on" is common in the theater world, but some say it originated in the 19th century circus. If an animal got loose or a performer was injured, they kept going because it is a "point of honor not to let other players down by deserting them when no understudy is available." Susan Lawson may not have released any tigers on her latest journey, but she certainly has persevered despite broken bones that might have side-lined your average consultant. Join us for this month's edition of IDUG Db2 Table Talk, where Susan shares the highs and lows of life on the road as one of Db2's most respected consultants, making her way around the world with a very broken hand.
