This whole show has been one giant experiment. And now that we're six months in it's time to tell you what actually worked and what we had to burn to the ground. This episode is me and Taylor. Yes that Taylor. My business partner. The guy behind the board. Clips. Edits. Everything. We sat down and talked through the mess and the magic of building this company.

And the changes that finally got us some traction. If you're building a business. Running a show. Or trying to stop doing 14 different things that aren't working. ===📅 Book a free call → https://freepodcasthelp.com/✅ Find out what’s holding you back!
