Today we are talking about knowing your customers and Mr. Joel Fortner jumps on the mic to talk a little marketing. (and butcher the outro to the podcast)

In case you’ve been under a rock the past few weeks, we just came out of a product launch for the new coaching programs.
We discovered a couple things that blew us away.

I’m honored and excited to dive in – your life and business is about to explode!

Here’s the top question we got: “Will Chris really work with me?”
