There are many of these shows out there, but I think Profitcast is unique for a bunch of reasons!  I recommended Brian's show way back on Episode 4 of TPD, and now he's here to talk about it himself!  Brian is a great guy with tons to share on his background in podcasting and radio!  And get the "real" story behind why he goes by "The Real Brian"!
