You're listening to the My Wife Quitter Job Podcast, the place where I bring on successful bootstrap business owners and delve deeply into the strategies they use to grow their businesses.

Right now they have this cool docu series called Beyond Black Friday where they discuss successful

marketing strategies that their customers are using that you can emulate with your business.
