Resources:
In this episode, we talk mention Audible. Audible is a great way to listen to audiobooks.
Listening to books when you are one the go, driving around, working out, or my favorite, while doing chores allows you to expand your business knowledge when life and business don't leave enough time to read as much as you would like.
