With a dose of that familiar Dan and Ian banter and a sprinkle of delightful puns, they break it down in a longer than usual episode to bring you the valuable marketing mojo you’re looking for.
They pick apart the rip, pivot and jam formula to make sure you’re honing in on the proper pivot and jam methods while telling you why many people get a little off track at this point. You’ll also get Dan and Ian’s riverside hut metaphor to guide you in your quest of setting up shop and getting your first customers.

This is a podcast where we believe building a business is the best way to create more personal freedom and opportunity in your life and the lives of those around. You almost forgot our mission statement, though, buddy. Which is? Well, you said it. It came out, but you paused for a second. Right. I wasn't quite sure. I lost my way there for a hot second. Today you have heard already I am I am joined by my captain, my co-host, a man who drinks green tea for the color, not for the taste.
