| 0:10.7 | We're going to have a guest on in just a moment. His name is Ryan Walsh with Encore Business Group, |
| 0:17.2 | Encorebusinessgroup.com. They provide third third party logistics, which sounds like a big |
| 0:23.4 | boring term, doesn't it? Basically, they handle other people's boxes. If you're an Amazon |
| 0:27.2 | seller selling stuff, someone's got attached boxes and box tape. If you don't want to do it |
| 0:31.4 | yourself, you can use a 3PL, a prep center. And here's the big theme today. If you've got some extra garage space, |
| 0:40.7 | if you got a little extra storage space in your home and you want to make some extra money, |
| 0:44.3 | there's a big opportunity for you to touch other people's boxes. You can be the one touching box |

| 1:37.1 | Well, here's the link to the website where you can get more information as we develop out this |
| 1:41.7 | course and training. It's silent gym.com slash prep center training. |
| 1:48.8 | That's simple. Silentjim.com slash prep center training. The link is in the notes, along with all the |

| 1:59.2 | prep center. He started off as a proven Amazon |
