📣 Meet Your Host – Antoine Vidal
01:35|Hi, I’m Antoine Vidal, and I’m the host of Your Number 1 Business Podcast (Y1BP).Twelve months ago, an idea was sparked from something simple, curiosity. At networking events and business catch-ups, I kept meeting incredible people: business owners with passion, resilience, and stories you don’t always see on social media. Stories about late nights, tough decisions, challenging moments, and the wins that make it all worthwhile.What fascinated me most wasn’t just what they built, it was how they built it.How they pushed through obstacles.How they learned from setbacks.How they turned ideas into impact.Those conversations stayed with me, and they lit a fire. That curiosity turned into Y1BP, a purpose-driven podcast where I share real business stories from real people. Not just the highlight reels, but the journey in between.Y1BP exists to inspire, connect, and educate — and honestly, to satisfy my own curiosity about the people behind the businesses we see every day.🎧 Jump on to your favorite podcast platforms to listen to the first 20 amazing episodes!https://shows.acast.com/your-number-1-business-podcast🎙️ I’m Antoine Vidal.........welcome to Your Number 1 Business Podcast.The story is just getting started.https://www.yournumber1businesspodcast.com.au/
