I had a great time interviewing Joshua Nordstrom.

We discussed how his life changed since "The Kraken" put him on the map nearly 4 years ago.

He got involved with the industry, met a long-lost brother from another mother, and started collaborating with the NTCA. 

This was a very inspirational conversation I know you all will enjoy and benefit from!

This is a new themed video for your Hump Day!  These short videos are designed to assist you to keep your mind on your money!  

Knowing your numbers is the best way to ensure long-term success as a business owner. 

On the other hand, NOT Knowing your numbers will lead to a struggling business and your never truly knowing "how much to charge".  

In today's episode, Luke will discuss what happens when you lower your price by just 10%.   

This video was inspired when Luke saw more than one person online discussing whether or not they should be preemptively lowering their prices due to a recession.  Running through this simple exercise was eye-opening to Luke and we believe you will also benefit from this exercise.  

We want to encourage every business owner to know their numbers!   Knowing your numbers is as unique to your business as you are!
