Raymond Sidney-Smith 0:07Hello, business owners entrepreneurs. Welcome to web and beyond cast, I am Raisa D. Smith and I'm the president of W three consulting. And I'm very excited to be back on the wagon with web and beyond cast our podcast for W three consulting. And as some of you may know, I was doing kind of a seasonal thing with the podcast. Now I'm going to be going to a weekly show. And so I'm looking forward to putting out weekly episodes, where I'll be doing solo shows, I'll be doing interviews, some roundtables, and otherwise. And so let's get started. As some of you may know, I am the Google Small Business advisor for productivity. And what that means is, is that I work with the Google Small Business team out of Mountain View, to educate small businesses about the power of productivity using G Suite and the various pieces.
