Summary: This podcast is a plain-English, pull-no-punches tale of what I see working everyday for other contractors and business owners. What I talk about here isn’t theory out of some book, I am living it everyday. So when I say YP worked in this instance or radio didn’t for this one, it’s because I am in the trenches getting my hands dirty just like you! Topics I will talk about include lead generation, print and online advertising, social media marketing, and sales tips and strategies for contractors. I also throw in the occasional personal post since the site has my name on it for a reason!
