Selling the DreamAuthor: Ken Jordan & Joe Iredell
Each week we invite a guest and ask them a simple question: what led to your current success? We seek to tell the truth, be sincere, but don't try and take ourselves too seriously. It's a conversation, not an interview, and we have fun exploring this question together with a guest.
