Value-packed

I’ve been learning and getting a lot out of the 5 minute episodes but listening to the 10K Creator episodes is what compelled me to write this 5-star review. It is a fantastic series. I’ve been getting so many takeaways from those episodes that it feels like a mini course.

No Brainer Game Changer

5 minute Mondays is a two fold no brainer. It’s quick (and even more so if you up the playback speed). But more importantly, it’s a game changer because Joe generously shares his real world wisdom on what it takes to start a business, run a business, build a business and sell a business. BOOM!! SUBSCRIBE and don’t give it a second thought.

5 minutes well spent

Perfect for marketers starting their day!
