Two young kids, a pregnant wife, and a deliberate decision to stop optimising for someone else's version of success. We cover the niche strategy that shrunk his entire target market to 300-400 companies, the podcast he launched in month two that now generates fully inbound business, and why 65% profit margins beat a big headcount every time.
