About us
Direct Local Business Network (DLBN) produces podcasts and disseminate news stories via social media with a focus on the small businesses that power the economy, and the conglomerates who are seeking to destroy them.
DLBN was launched in March 2019 by Direct Co-ops, Al Norman (Forbes’ ‘Wal-Mart’s #1 Enemy’) and Canada’s top broadcaster Steve Anthony. DLBN will focus on stories about the “voodoo economics” of the superstore chains, and how monopolistic retail giants are smothering smaller merchants who operate at the local level.
