PODCAST TITLE
Gregory Allan Datu Cendana: Welcome to the #BeTheBossNow Podcast and I am your host Gregory Allan Datu Cendana, President and Co-Founder of Can’t Stop! Won’t Stop! Consulting, Chief Creative Officer of Greg Dances and #1 International Best Selling Author of Be the Boss Now Book: 15 Key Steps to Start, Run, and Grow Your Own Business.
So often, people don’t take risks because they are afraid of failure or rejection.
As an openly gay, Filipino American who was raised in a working class, immigrant, and Catholic household, these experiences shaped my values and the entrepreneur and leader I have become and led me to found and run different companies and nonprofits. I’ve also built a business that grew during the pandemic while creating opportunities and increasing access for people from diverse backgrounds.
The #BeTheBossNow podcast will lift up the stories of different folks who identify as Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, Middle Eastern, woman, queer, people with disabilities, and those living at the intersections of multiple of these identities.
I believe there is a boss in ALL of us - especially for those of us who have historically lacked representation in leadership. Furthermore, when we embrace fear and failure as inspiration to guide us on our journeys, it will be for the better and in service to making our biggest, boldest and most audacious dreams a reality.

Gregory Allan Datu Cendana: We appreciate you tuning into the #BeTheBossNow Podcast and will be back after this short break. If you find the conversations with these entrepreneurs inspiring and want to buy a book that offers a more practical framework for realizing your business potential–I invite you to visit BeTheBossNow.com to purchase your copy of #BeTheBossNow Book. Honestly, as I shared with my therapist in a conversation that inspired me to write my first book, this was the guide I wish I had when I first started my company, especially as someone with no inheritance or previous business experience. The book became a #1 bestseller on Amazon in the One-Hour Business and Money Short Reads and Corporate Finance categories and has been featured in classrooms, nonprofits, government agencies, and corporate offices.
Furthermore, if you know someone who could benefit from a structured program, support, and being in a community of entrepreneurs, please nominate them or consider applying.
We have been hosting virtual sessions and are exploring the idea of in-person cohorts by geography in the future, so you don’t want to miss out. Please visit BeTheBossNow.com to buy the book, nominate a boss, sign up for the newsletter, or take the leap for yourself today.
