A unique and special episode! Fire Nation, I tune in to a lot of podcasts, and one that I listen to is called Marketing School by Neil Patel and Eric Siu. Not long ago they did a podcast about the cons of creating income reports, and they mentioned myself and Pat Flynn – in a friendly way, of course. So I created this episode as a response to their episode, where I discuss both sides of the equation: the pros and the cons of creating income reports.
