The Platinum Business Break
The Platinum Business Break is the no-fluff, straight-talk podcast for people who actually work for a living. Hosted by business strategist Dan P. Owens, this show dives headfirst into the modern workplace — calling out the corporate nonsense, challenging conventional wisdom, and giving voice to the average employee, entrepreneur, and small business leader. No interviews. No sugarcoating. Just bold, real-world commentary on leadership, culture, communication, productivity, and the future of work — with a heavy dose of common sense. If you’ve ever rolled your eyes in a meeting, questioned the latest corporate trend, or just wanted someone to say what you were thinking… you’re in the right place.
