I talk about all kinds of things that affect your business and can help your business and can save you money and make you money. And so this isn't any online wizardry stuff that I've been working on. This is owning a utility trailer and how that can help your business. I actually have three of them. I have an 18 foot, a 12 foot and an eight foot. Guess which one I use the most? The eight foot.

And this is coupled with my last episode, 1113, on the audio clone side of it. So you can have super high quality audio tied to a super high quality video clone of yourself. And then wow, if you crank these out, you don't have to have a good hair day. You can just really plaster stuff that you've probably been hesitating on because they're too much hassle. So it's really worth it to get this going.
