This week Lakaye Mbah and I are covering product-based businesses vs. service-based businesses. Though we have dabbled in both, I’m “team product,” and Lakaye is “team service.” Which team are you on?

We get into the not-so-good side of each business, how to determine which one is right for you, and share personal stories and dreams. Wherever you are in your journey, we hope this episode helps you decide which one is right for you.
