every billionaire I've met, which I've been fortunate to meet and talk and learn from a lot of them,

it's amazing how much they, Walton calls it, he says he doesn't like that you steal things from people,

steal ideas from people, but that you borrow the ideas from people. And Tommy,

Welcome to the Home Service Expert, where each week Tommy chats with world-class entrepreneurs

and experts in various fields like marketing, sales, hiring, and leadership to find
