  1. Hey Jaryd,

    I hate to be that guy, but you might want to correct a typo… Empire Flippers is an Inc. 5000 company… You are missing a zero, which is a big difference.
    Otherwise, I can’t wait for tomorrow morning to listen to this episode!

    1. Hey Goran,

      I actually thank you for being that guy, we need more people like you to hold each other accountable, I am all for it. I saw on their site a Inc 500 badge, this threw me. Thanks and I hope you are enjoying the episodes.

      1. Hey Jaryd,

        Thanks I appreciate that! I listened to a few of your episodes, and plan to continue! It is both valuable and entertaining. Not sure if your Australian accent plays into that! 😀
