Coming up on today’s addition on the Entrepreneur Addiction Podcast, today we’re going to be talking about a ‘create jobs for USA’. This was an initiative by Starbucks to start small business lending, and joining me for the podcast is Brock Blake the Ceo of Lendio. How are you? Brock: Doing great. How’s everyone doing today? Patrick: Great. It’s been a couple week since you’ve been on, so it’s good to hear your voice again. Brock: Yeah, it’s great to be back. We’ve had some great podcasts in-between with some interesting authors and experts, which I’m sure everyone’s been enjoying instead of hearing my voice over and over again. (laughter) Patrick: Have you heard those podcasts? Those authors were terrific. Brock: You know, I haven’t. I just downloaded all of them on my iPhone, and I’ll start listening to them on my way in and out on the drive. I just got them off iTunes. Patrick: Now, I know that you’re an iPhone 4 guy. The most pressing question on everyone’s mind is, are you going to get an iPohne 4s? Brock: I am getting the iPhone 4s. Patrick: Alright. Who are you with? Are you with Verizon or AT&T right now? Brock: Well, right now I’m with Tmobile. I’m locked with my phone, but I’m going to make the plunge and go with one of the three: Spring, Verizon, or AT&T. Patrick: Well, I’ll put a plug in for Sprint. I’ve been a customer of there’s for over thirteen years. Brock: Really? I’ve heard good things as of late, and I am actually, really considering Sprint. Patrick: They are not a sponsor of the podcast, by the way. Brock: No? Not at all? Patrick: (laughter) It’s just an unsolicited endorsement. Brock: Well, I heard the cool thing about Sprint was that they completely integrate with GoogleVoice. And so, if your iPhone is connected to WiFi and you’re integrated with GoogleVoice, then essentially you’re not using any of your minutes or any of your data. You’re basically using GoogleVoice, which allows you to probably get one of the smaller packages because, instead of being on their network the whole time, you’re on GoogleVoice’s part of the time. That’s what I’ve heard. Patrick: Not to mention that it is the least expensive. I mean, in terms of just pure dollars, Sprint is the least expensive. You get unlimited data, text, and talk for, I think it’s 69.99 a month. Brock: Good reception, huh? That’s my one big area.
