  1. I was really curious about how you were going to toilet paper to pumpkins, but you did! Excellent interview.

    I really like his idea of creating a focus to the business. Of not being afraid to limit your customer base to only those who are best suited for you. Also, asking your customers “what can I do for you?” is a great idea.

    Once again, you gave great information! Time very well spent!

    1. Hey Mike! Thanks for stopping by 🙂 Feeling is mutual.

      I know quite a few of our listeners already purchased TPE & Pumpkin Plan, and I can’t wait to hear what it did to their business!

      A tad late, but happy Thanksgiving! I’m thankful for the inspiration and guidance you shared with us.
