How I Built a $180M/Year Business Without Making Myself Miserable

Wouter Teunissen cold emailed me and asked if I'd come on his podcast.
I told him, sure, come to Victoria and interview me in person (thinking he's from Europe, there's no way he actually will).

He did. And it turned out to be one of the best conversations I've had in ages.

This episode is reposted from Wouter's podcast, Biography.
