DALLAS, July 30, 2019 – Thryv, Inc. — the leading small business software provider — released today “Winning on Main Street,” a podcast series that focuses on small business owners and how they use technology to succeed. In Thryv’s new podcasts, the company’s CMO Gordon Henry speaks with local entrepreneurs about what it’s like running a small business today.

“We really wanted to hear from the small business owners themselves,” said Henry. “To learn how they started their businesses, the challenges they face, the solutions they develop, and the technology they use to get ahead.”

“In this podcast we show the incredible entrepreneurial spirit and creativity that everyday small business owners possess that allow many to succeed and win despite the steep odds they face.”

• Episode 4 focuses on Performance Masters’ Maggie Cathcart and how an x-ray licensing service streamlines registration, documentation and payments using software.
• Episode 5 highlights Yvonne Casity of JC Sewer and Drain Plumbing, a family-owned plumbing business, who explains how they manage their reputation via social media, email and online reviews.
• Episode 6 showcases Affordable Cabinet Refinishing’s Randy Artman, a serial entrepreneur who describes his software-driven “infrastructure for growth” that increases the resale value of his business.
• Episode 7 focuses on Matt Whitson of the dog obedience training business At Whits End that utilizes automated reminders so pet lovers and their canines remember to show up for appointments.
