Another great episode brought to you by Ezra Firestone, founder of Smart Marketer (and several other Businesses). It’s packed with insights to help you if you’re in business or want to be! You’ll hear Ezra interview Russ Izzo, the founder of True Medic, and he shares a ton of solid lessons throughout. Although this was recorded in 2019, you will enjoy their chemistry and energy, and make sure you listen to the end to hear about his 3 Million dollar day, the Oprah effect, and why you have to take a moderate, reasonable salary to ultimately have huge success.
You Will Learn:
- The challenges that almost sunk the business (even after securing huge contracts)
- What Russ invested in that led to being on Good Morning America and Oprah’s Favorite Things
- The moves, values, and personality traits that made massive success possible
