Can’t hear it anymore

Love this show and have listened for a few years. For some reason over the past few months it’s become a whisper show and the audio is too low to hear while doing any type of physical labor.

Techo- Bloc Philly

Got the opportunity to listen to Josh live on the hardscaper growth at the Techo-Bloc Philly Showcase. He has great insights to what this industry requires for growth and leading your team to a unified vision so you can scale at any level. If you haven’t listened to Josh I recommend you do it will help you in all aspects of your life.

Let’s Grow!
