You should be building relationships with everyoneā¦
As Iām starting to have more acquisition conversations, one reality keeps coming up:
The Accidental Entrepreneur
Especially in the agency space, it feels like many founders just fall into running a business.

Guess todayās podcast guest ā and Iāll give you a free entry into the sweepstakes weāre doing for the launch.
