Summary

In today’s show, we interview special guest Weldon Long on the topic of getting paid for what you know. Weldon Long spent 25 years living on the streets. He’s been to prison three times and was a self-proclaimed loser; but that’s not where the story ends. Gaining his BS and MBA degrees while in prison, he turned his life around to become a business owner, trainer, author, and sought-after speaker. Weldon joins the podcast to discuss the idea of getting paid for what you know as opposed to getting paid for what you do. Illustrating this concept with a powerful nuclear power plan analogy, Weldon dives deeper into why this mind shift is important to any home services professional.
