SAN MATEO, Calif., March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Nav, a leading financial credit health platform for small businesses, has announced the launch of its original podcast series, Main Street Makers. The podcast highlights the stories, strategies, and insights of small business owners who are overcoming challenges, seizing opportunities, and building thriving, community-focused businesses.

On Episode #23 Levi King, Nav’s CEO and Co-Founder, shares his extensive small business experience, detailing how he built his first business from scratch and the critical role that business credit played in his success. He discusses the challenges he faced, including navigating business credit issues after acquiring a company with a poor credit history.

Main Street Makers shines a light on the entrepreneurs who form the backbone of Main Street America. Each episode features candid interviews with small business owners from diverse industries and backgrounds — from hair salons to chiropractic firms to window washing companies — offering listeners an authentic look at the resilience and innovation it takes to succeed.

"With more than 32 million small business owners across the U.S., there are countless stories of determination, lessons learned, and wisdom to be shared," said Levi King, Nav CEO and Co-Founder. "At Nav, we believe in the power of storytelling and peer-to-peer learning. Our goal with Main Street Makers is to foster connection and provide actionable insights for other entrepreneurs navigating their own journeys."

Whether listeners are just starting out, scaling their businesses, or seeking fresh inspiration, Main Street Makers delivers practical tips, honest reflections, and a celebration of the entrepreneurial spirit.

Nav has already released more than two dozen episodes featuring business owners from across the country, representing a wide array of industries and experiences, including:
