  • EP-041 Mike Ficara talks about getting back to the basics

    I always say that my kids have been some of the greatest sources for my business. This past week while watching my oldest two help around the house and helping clean up after the youngest two I explained that the youngest watch them constantly trying to learn their basic skills. Sometimes they may not get it and that's alright, but how often do we actually get back to the basics in our business? --- Support this podcast:
