  • Surf and Sales hosted by Richard Harris is a standout podcast for business enthusiasts. Richard's insightful interviews and deep understanding of the topic make each episode educational and engaging. He has a knack for making the topic easily digestible and turning it into actionable advice that listeners can apply to their situations. I highly recommend it - this is time well spent!

  • The Real State of Sales

    Richard and Scott are a lethal combination. Empathetic and accountable. With their rich domain expertise, they call it like they see it. But instead of calling out what the problems are, they offer solutions and tactical application to making a difference for sellers and sales leaders.

    Witty, wise and winsome; these two make an incredible impact on the sales community for good.
