Second, for now, members, go check out my 3 bonus episodes available on Mighty Networks! And third, go snag a copy of Joe’s book, The Anatomy of Yes. Available on Thriftbooks, eBay, Barnes and Noble (online). Yes, it’s available on Amazon, but definitely try to shop local and second-hand to support the book love!
