Real quick, guys, if you can think about how you found this podcast, somebody probably

0:03.8

tweeted it, told you about it, shared it on Instagram, or something like that.

0:07.5

The only way this grows is through word of mouth. And so I don't run ads, I don't do sponsorships,

0:12.2

I don't sell anything. My only ask is that you continue to pay it forward, do whoever showed you,

0:16.4

or however you found out about this podcast that you do the exact same thing. So if it was a review,

0:21.0

if it was a post, if you do that, it would mean the world to me and you'll throw some good comment

1:30.0

And there was one, I learned so many things from him, but one of them was getting people to say

1:36.8

no to say yes. All right. So this is a very, very real world tactical tidbit that you can use to

1:44.3

close sales. Now there's a specific type of sell that this really applies to, which is a lot of
