Check out Ashley's interview with @dailyBRINK http://t.co/0ChUrlD2
February 22, 2012 /19/2 8:19 pmThe Story Behind the Show:
The TV show for small business owners, bringing you business humor, business advice and interviews with real small business owners. The show is hosted by father/daughter duo Robert and Ashley Bodi, along with other Bodi family members. Robert and Paula Bodi have lived in the shoes of small business owners for 30 years, and know the ups and downs of running a business. They share experiences and knowledge from what they have learned over the years, along with our business experts and guests on the show.
This isn’t your typical “business show” about finance, or how to make lots of money. This show stands apart from other business shows that are honestly just flat out boring. The Bodi’s are on a mission to show what it truly takes to run a business. They bring you all of the dirty details you don’t see, behind the scenes footage and why as a business owner, many bad customers just need “the boot.” Talking with business owners and entrepreneurs from coast to coast, the Bodi gang is determined to shed light on REAL stories behind seasoned and new businesses. Too many people only see the pretty and polished side of what it takes to own a business. Not everyone realizes the hard work and grimy details that go on behind the scenes that business owners are forced to deal with.
Dealing with customers is a daily issue. “Gurus” will instruct you to keep these bad customers; when in all honesty, your company is better off firing them to save your business hard earned money, countless headaches, and time that you and your employees can never get back. The Bodi’s love to interview businesses about their bad customer aka CustoMonster stories. We find out how they handled the customer, what they learned from the situation and how they can teach new and upcoming entrepreneurs what to watch out for.
If you thought that “the customer is always right” was true, you might just change your mind after learning from REAL business owners across the country.

Bodi Family Background:
The Bodi’s are from the great state of TN where family, the Lord, friends and food are the most important things in life. We are not your typical slicked back hair business people although we are very professional about our work and passionate about what we do. We know what hard work is thanks to our family and those who instilled these values into us when we were young. We believe in working hard, enjoying what you do and loving every minute of it.
Sometimes people get too caught up in what society tells them to do or how much money they have to make when what you really need to do is to sit back and just enjoy it. And that’s what a big part of our show is about…. everyone needs some relaxation and laughter at the end of the day.
The Bodi Sisters:
These 3 sisters love each other oh so much and it’s pretty obvious on and off the camera. Yes, they fight at times but what family doesn’t have their moments? Each sister brings something to the table and supports the family businesses 100% no matter what. Through watching their parents and grandparents run businesses, they learned what hard work truly is on a daily basis. Besides shooting the show and running businesses together, they have a huge passion for helping others. Whether it’s volunteering with Big Brothers Big Sisters, traveling to Peru for a mission trip, participating in races for certain foundations, the sisters constantly help anyway they can in their spare time. They are always looking for great organizations to feature on the “giving back” segment for the show. If you know of one contact them at givingback(at)businessbewareshow.com They also have a large bucket list they want to accomplish on top of what they already do and the list is never-ending…
