Summary

We recently had our Legacy event in Nashville and had the absolute pleasure of seeing one of our clients Paul there and wanted to grab him for a quick interview (so excuse some background in the audio) and talk to him about his experience with IFCA. He went from charging 69 a month through an app to completely changing his business model to charging 600 a month with healthy profit margins, bringing his wife into the business, and more we'll talk about!
