| 0:00.0 | Hey, business building warrior. Welcome to silent sales machine radio. This is your host, Jim |
| 0:06.6 | Cochram, and I had the privilege of hanging out today with one of our proven amazon course.com |
| 0:12.6 | students. This is a couple who own a plumbing business. They have for over 20 plus years, and |
| 0:19.3 | it's still operating, but with all the COVID |
| 0:21.5 | craziness in their area, especially, they're a little concerned how stable that model might be. |
| 0:28.1 | It's been a great family business for a long time, but they started looking for something else |

| 1:21.0 | She was otherwise occupied, I think, with homeschool today. |
| 1:24.4 | But Corey describes and contrasts the difference between a traditional, get your hands |
| 1:31.4 | dirty, get out and serve the customer local type business, and what he's seeing with e-commerce. |
| 1:36.7 | They both have their pluses and minuses, of course. But with e-commerce, he makes the observation |
