10 years ago, BJ was a completely different person. He's sober, learning from the best mentors and coaches, and is rising the ranks in his market by creating local allies with other businesses and competitors in his market.

BJ credits his success to his mentors and coaches. He wouldn't be where he is today without asking for help and applying his learnings along the way. In fact, if it wasn't for mentors and coaches, he would've had to close down the business for good.

The more hands you shake, the more money you make. BJ doesn't worry about competition. He cares about creating allies. It has become the foundation for his growth.

Want to level up? Tune in. This is a d*mn good episode.
