    I have listening to you for years and I share so many of the ideas that come out of your podcast. I’ll even pull my car over and rewind your show and take down some notes. I’m a Territory Manager for a large distributor in Chicago. My customers love your ideas because I share your podcast with them as well. Thanks! Bob Weber

    Really enjoyed the program with Ruth and her quest James Albert. James talked very confidently about how to maneuver through a lot of business and relationship challenges. By being direct and exhibiting consistent professional follow-up is so important. I will definitely reach out to James to find out how he can help me in the future in this area where is clearly an expert. Thanks again.
