  • EP-119 Mike Ficara talks about what made 2020 great and what will make 2021 even better

    It has been interesting having the New Year fall at the end of the end of the week. I know I for one found it hard to get started on the new year, without falling back into the routine if you will. On this episode we recap 2020 and look forward to an amazing 2021.

  • EP-118 Mike Ficara and Andy Cabasso talk about how wrong we might be about everything

    Niching down is so important. That is why I love this podcast. As many of you are “pivoting” this year, think about going into a niche that you have the MOST knowledge about, so you can make the MOST money. Love this conversation with Andy on this week's episode about how he won by niching down!--- Support this podcast:
