This week Dan invites Dana Lindahl, founder of Legendary Podcasts, as a special guest on the pod.
They’ll discuss how you can generate cash flow and demand for your product immediately using cold email and identify high-earning potential business ideas by seeking out hyper niches.
They’ll also talk about the difficulties of running service businesses, plus the opportunities and the end games, including a strategy called the “Split and Sale.”
