Summary

Initially, I had Jeff Lerner to talk about building a digital agency on Side Hustle Friday. When I found out that Jeff used to be a professional pianist, I was intrigued by how he learns music at age 17, skipping the line, and became a professional pianist by age 20! So I had to find out how he skip the line, and I want to learn to play the piano too! I write about all my podcasts! Check out the full post and learn what I learned at jamesaltucher.com/podcast.
