  • Laugh, learn, repeat

    I listen to a lot of podcasts, and I’ve been a guest on more than a few. This has to be one of the most fun podcasts and podcast interviews I’ve been involved with. Chris and Allen have a great time, but they keep it very down to earth with practical advice from a successful business. I was a guest once but I’ll now be a repeat listener.
