  • Finally!

    I have been a maker for more than 5 years and subscribe to various other marketing/makers podcasts. They are helpful. But this one blows them ALL out of the water for me. It’s like the difference between sitting in an audience of a 1000 people listening to someone teach vs having a 1-1 conversation with a mentor where they specifically meet and talk about your individual concerns. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and knowledge. I absolutely cannot wait to learn more!
