A note from Scott: In my intro to this episode, I got my podcasts mixed up. I accidentally mentioned that David had been a guest on my BB&C show three times. Actually, I meant to say that he and I had a conversation on the J&L “Digital Market Domination” podcast: https://www.jandlmarketing.com/podcasts/mcc-038-david-spisak-how-to-get-what-you-want-in-business-and-in-life/
And I meant to say that I was once a guest on David’s podcast, “The David Spisak Show”: https://davidspisak.com/how-to-unlock-your-ultimate-potential-as-an-entrepreneur-with-scott-joseph/
