  • 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.

If Jobs Don’t Want Your Experience, Lead With Your Mission | John Tarnoff
Q: What is the intake process when someone wants to work with you?

How A Family-First Pivot Built Two Thriving Businesses In A Niche Market | Jerry French
