EP 086 - Shane and Jocelyn Sams were school teachers, on a teacher's salary; just a normal working family, mortgage, two cars, two small kids... a regular American family stressed, working too many hours, spending too little time together, and struggling with debt. In the Summer of 2012 after some rough times at work, they decided to start an online business and take control of their destiny. They would go on to replace their income, quit their full time jobs, make millions online and build the life of their dreams! Now they're helping others control their own destiny with faith and hard work.

"After helping a friend from church make money online, we realized we could help other families do what we did."
