Full of Value and Entertainment

I’ve learned a wealth of knowledge from Jordan and Mike by listening to their podcast. How to get up and running with my online business along how to continue to provide clients a great service. I look forward to a new episode every week.

HiDYogi ,

Invaluable High Quality Content!

Not only are Mike and Jordan entertaining and easy to listen to, but they provide amazingly high quality information for FREE!- Experienced and research based grounded in ethics and a desire to truly help others. I'm using this as a bonus course to create my coaching business. I hope to be in a position to join their membership soon.

Just 🔥🔥

Found the podcast in February after virtually watching Jordan’s talk at RTB and was on a mission to listen to every episode at that point. Love the information that both Mike and Jordan provide. As an in person trainer for 10 years and just starting to dabble with the online training world, I am grateful to have come across them when I did when I was starting to look into guidance for my online business. The podcast is the reason I pulled the trigger and joined the mentorship. Great stuff and keep it coming.

Haha as I write this I am listening to the 4/18 episode and hear Jordan with the shout out from me saying what’s up at the MBSC seminar. ✊🏽
