In March 2020 at the start of the global disruption caused by the coronavirus, we wanted to do something to fill the gap caused by the sudden end of live networking events and to lighten the dark mood that had settled on the world.

We wanted to create conversations with expert business guests that would enlighten, empower and entertain our audience.

In late 2003, with almost 3 years, over 300 episodes of experience and feedback from you our audience, we started a second channel “Harmony: Your Path To Wholeness” to focus on health and fitness.

This new direction has been so well received that it will now be our main focus.

All our business episodes will remain available on all the main video and audio podcast platforms and our website.
