This is the first solo episode I've done in a while.

It's about a topic close to my heart: work/life balance and hard work.

I e-met Naeem inside the Visualize Value community early in February, and we've had lots of text-based chats since then. We've actually never talked out loud so this is finally the opportunity.

Naeem has done lots of things but has primarily made a career in sales.

From selling CDs at 14 to Vice President (not that kind) at 29 to now joining forces with his wife in his own start-up, he's done a lot.

I'm keen to talk to him about sales, product management, marketing and working with your wife...
