You will love this podcast
I am so glad I came across this podcast. As a real estate agent this has helped me share my business stories in my area and grow my business with the informatino that I have learned right here by listening. Thank you so much for your content.

Seth’s podcast is wonderful! He makes a move against the industry by highlighting the small business owners. This is profound though, as these owners are the ones we will root for to succeed since they care about their “why” of their existence more than a quick profit.
