Why Most People Fail at Sales—And What to Do Differently with Joe Graham

Sales isn’t just a numbers game—it’s a heart game. 

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Joe Graham, a sales mentor, speaker, and host of the 150K Podcast, to talk about what it really takes to sell with integrity, embody your purpose, and grow a business that actually feels good. We explore everything from faith to failure, strategy to spirituality, and how to show up powerfully no matter where you are on the path.
