Whether you’re absorbed in family life, plotting your genius business idea, or looking to see a return on your investments, there’s something in this episode for you. In this conversation, you’ll enjoy 3 BIG things: Why parenting forces you to clarify your priorities. The genius behind scalable business models like Baselang—and how you can adapt them.

It took lots of trial and error, but I finally landed on AppSumo.com, which got me to the $1 million mark and is now an eight figure company (and growing).In this episode, I'm going to share my full story so that you can create a game plan for yourself.
