Today's podcast guest is a ProvenAmazonCourse.com student who is crushing it. He's got a small team (his wife and a VA) and uses a prep center to handle all his inventory. He was on the show over a year ago and he's really scaled since then as you'll hear!
He's also a user of "The System" (SilentJim.com/thesystem) to manage his entire process.
We spend time talking about:

- His net margins and the big picture of his business
- The importance of live events and building your network of connections
