  • Incredibly useful and informative

    Thanks Brad for putting on this podcast and sharing this great information. I just started as the Business Development Manager (integrator) for a local contractor. I have been listening to your podcast whenever I’ve been in the car for the past two weeks and it has been super helpful. Just listened again to the lesson on the importance of good customer service over technical expertise, and the importance of asking questions instead of vomiting information. Thanks so much for doing this.
