Summary
In my drug dealing days, I couldn't simply advertise what I was offering publicly, so I had to use guerilla tactics to market.
Building relationships.
Word of mouth.
Friend of a friend.

That's not the case anymore.
If you're running a legit business, pull up a chair and I'm going to give you some transformative skills you can use to deploy one of the best marketing campaigns using digital media and the principles of good old-fashioned street marketing.

| 0:22.1 | area of your life. We're glad that you're here. You know what? I got to admit, hustling dope |
| 0:27.9 | made me one hell of a marketer. Oftentimes, I'm asked, hey man, how did you get so good |
