Bam! Jason Waller here with the BAM podcast. That's business, attitude, money, and I have got a

fucking legend on the show today. This guy I got to meet through mutual friends. This guy just had a huge

fucking event in Miami. I was busting his chops like, hey, next time getting me to the invite. I definitely want to be there. I was jealous in a good way from the outside going, man, look at those icons there, crushing it. People are fucking learning, but my man here Eric Spofford he is the CEO of Spofford Enterprises

He built a company sold it made tens of millions of dollars. I think even hundreds of millions of dollars and then turn around he's got a new business that he's involved in now he does coaching speaking the whole nine how you doing Eric

I'm very well brother thanks for having me you like the energy I'm trying to

fucking bring it baby go fuck so listen I want to get to know you better we

were talking for a few minutes before them but you know I know your business, I was really helping people out that had

then went on to start my business in helping other people just like me.

That's so awesome. I mean my brother has a lot of issues with drugs. He went to jail on and off for a few years and same thing and then he tried to get off and then he started

taking Subboxen I think it was maybe they're you know trying to wing off and then got

back on it bad and then got alcohol bad finally out he's been clean for five months super

excited trying to live his life a better way now and I'm always worried because
