The Incubators Couch

Business & Economics Podcasts

Being in business for over 13 years has taught us a lot and there is one thing we recognized that was missing throughout this whole experience. The space to share, vent, uplift, learn from fellow business owners and to know you’re not alone or losing your mind. This realization birthed the idea of The Incubators Couch, a production by Komposition LLC. In each episode of the Incubators Couch hosted by Kirk and Kanique Nugent, you will hear stories and experiences from Entrepreneurs that have shaped how they run their business and may help you to run yours too.
