In this episode, I talk with Matthew Lesko. For years I watched him on TV in his colorful jacket covered in question marks. Yes, I’m aging myself :)
This is a fun conversation with a man who has spent decades pointing ordinary individuals to free funding available from the government in the form of grants and mentorship.
If you're looking for some funding for your podcast, this episode is for you.
