The Business Development Podcast
Business development chooses you. You didn’t plan for this—but here you are. Whether you're a founder, entrepreneur, executive, or growth leader, one day you realize: building relationships, opening doors, and driving revenue is now your job. And no one ever taught you how to do it. No books. No training. No roadmap. Until now. Welcome to The Business Development Podcast, hosted by Kelly Kennedy—award-winning business development expert, executive coach, founder of Capital Business Development, and proudly known as a Hope Dealer for those leading from the front. Kelly didn’t set out to build the world’s leading business development resource. He just started sharing what he’d learned from 15+ years in the trenches. 220+ episodes later, with listeners in 145+ countries, this podcast became the global standard for mastering real-world business development. Each week, you'll get no-fluff strategy, hard-earned insight, and real conversations with top founders, CEOs, and builders. From personal branding to partnership building, from deal flow to leadership—this is where you sharpen the skills they never taught you. If business development chose you—this is the show built for you. 🎧 Listen: https://thebusinessdevelopmentpodcast.captivate.fm/listen 📩 Connect: podcast@capitalbd.ca
