Imagine starting with nothing but a napkin sketch and a vision to protect the world’s most valuable technology
You spend years in the trenches, iterating through designs while revenue barely trickles in, facing the isolation and self-doubt that come with building something brand new.
But then… you find a way to get the largest logistics companies in the entire world to do your selling for you—at zero cost
Today’s guest didn’t just survive the grind; he turned his brand into a verb within a multi-trillion dollar industry
Welcome to today’s episode of Your Business Growth Podcast. I’m your host, Jeremy Shapiro, author of Your Business Growth Playbook, and my guest today is Sam Berman.
