This week's guest, Matt Cundill, is the owner and founder of the Soundoff Media Company. If that name sounds familiar, it's because they're the folks who handle production for our show. Matt speaks about how he's built and maintained the company, including finding gaps in the market and knowing when to transition to entrepreneurship.
