After a day of geeking out and listening to hifi audio equipment at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest here in Denver, Joel Comm and I sat down for a very Joe Rogan-esque 1:20 to talk about my new brand, why “hustle and grind” isn’t the only way to do business, what Steve Jobs would and wouldn’t do, becoming an “influencer”, asking for what you want, and tons more. We went off the rails a few a times, but that’s to be expected every time Joel comes on the show.
