One of our most downloaded episodes, episode 1 with Corey Jones and his business CJP got us wondering how he is doing today. Sooooo, we got him back in the studio and dug in. Have things changed for him? YES, dramatically! We discuss his recent battle with a rare condition that brought him to the brink of death and the new direction for his video production business that essentially came from his time spent for so long in the hospital with his own thoughts. We are glad to see he is on the mend and have a great time catch up with him all while learning a few lessons about small business and life.
