0:00.0	After more than a decade of running multi-million dollar businesses, I've realized something that a lot of people are afraid to say.
0:06.0	Most people should not be entrepreneurs. And I say that not to discourage you, but because the most useful
0:13.1	thing I can do for you today is to tell you the truth. Because the content that you're consuming,

1:12.9	Let's get into it.

1:27.8	start, grow, and scale your business.
1:31.9	If this show has helped in any way, it would be amazing if you could drop us a quick
1:37.2	review on whatever app you're using to listen to this podcast right now. It helps me and my team
