  • When Marti speaks, I listen

    Real-world wisdom from someone who’s actually done it. Marti Amos is the real deal. In a world full of 'coaches' who have never run a business, Marti is a breath of fresh air. He walks the walk, and his wealth of experience shines through in every episode. He doesn't just give you slogans; he gives you the systems to buy back your life. When Marti talks, I listen. If you’re a builder or an entrepreneur feeling trapped by your business, this podcast is a godsend.
