The Business Brew

William Green - The Man Behind The Books


Listen Later

William Green, best-selling author and podcast host extraordinaire, comes back to The Business Brew to have a very real conversation about life.  William's first appearance was part of the launch of Richer, Wiser, Happier, which you can find at https://www.amazon.com/s?k=richer+wiser+happier+william+green&i=audible&sprefix=richer%2Caudible%2C84&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_6.  This conversation is more focused on William's career and lessons he has learned.


This was a conversation that really put a smile on Bill's face and it is one The Business Brew is very proud to feature.  Hopefully this conversation shows a unique side to William Green; the side Bill got to see when they first met.


We hope you enjoy the conversation as much as Bill enjoyed recording it.
