28 min - Your #1 Defense Against Copycats And Competitors | Ep. 023
Here's the third and final part of my interview with Kunle Campbell in the 2x eCommerce podcast.
If you haven't listed to parts 1 and 2, go back and listen to them before listening to this.
This was the last major question of the interview, and he asked me:
"What's the best way for eCommerce entrepreneurs to protect their intellectual property?"
Now, if you've listened to our previous episodes, I'm sure you already know the answer...
...because I talk about it so often.
However, if you're new to the show, my answer to Kunle's question could be a total game-changer...
...and potentially save you tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars over the long term.
