Summary
On today’s new podcast episode we meet a longtime friend of mine who recently found himself in a major career change and contacted me about selling on Amazon. He’s doing great as both a ProvenAmazonCourse.com student and coaching student. We are even talking to him now about possibly becoming a coach on our team because his business has grown so rapidly so quickly and he has an incredible teacher's heart!
You'll enjoy hearing the insights of what he’s learned along the way so far as well as the tremendous rewards of building a business with family.

We've got hundreds of episodes where we interview and give tips and strategies from the people who are taking our training, coaching students, our proven Amazon course students, |

| 0:25.7 | And today I've got a guest who I've known for a long time. |
| 0:28.9 | Our kids have grown up together. |
| 0:30.6 | He's been a friend for a long time. |
