In this exciting episode of the Business Growth Talks podcast, host Mark Hayward sits down with Peter Schroeder, a former DJ and tech pioneer who transitioned from spinning records to pioneering a cloud phone system for businesses. Peter shares his unique journey from Denmark to LA and how his early influences shaped his multi-faceted career. As a former DJ known as DJ Pete Fox, Peter brings an eclectic mix of experiences that have taught him invaluable lessons in business growth, especially in scaling a technology company with limited resources.

Throughout the episode, Mark and Peter dive deep into the mechanics of running and growing a business using SEO, the transition from DJing to founding Telzio, and how to compete against industry giants without external investment.
