Hey everyone!

Today is a special bonus episode because I love the Magi. So I’m covering 1) the real history, 2) why I find this story so compelling, and 3) what it means for our lives as business owners.

I’m not going to do a write-up on it in detail, so you’ll have to listen to it (or read the transcript, I suppose).

Enjoy it and let me know what you think in the comments!
