In this episode I’m sharing why I paused my podcast, why I got back to podcasting, and why I’m doing this daily. I also recommend a great book (Web of Life) and my experience with its author.

Lesson 1: Grant Cardone taught me how to find $1mm in books | Lesson 2: When you speak with an author (someone who wrote a book, any book) - buy the book, read it, try to find the $1mm idea, and share (enthusiastic) feedback; That’s what I did with Jeffrey Meshel (Secrets of a Master Networker) | Lesson 3: Build shows where you’re the star ⭐️ of the show - big or small show doesn’t matter. My poker group became close friends who now spend holidays and do business together.
