    This week, I caught up with Laura Roeder, a dear friend who also happens to be an exceptionally skilled businesswoman. She is the Founder of a coaching software business called Paperbell.
    We chat about handling envy, finding contentment, and happiness in our lives, both at work and personally. Laura's approach involves skipping traditional meetings, relying on freelancers, and keeping everyone on the same page with informal company updates.
    Laura's a master at dodging work in the best possible way—she's smart and super efficient with her time. Following her lead, you might just discover that a day's workload can be knocked out in just 2 hours.
    In this conversation, you’ll enjoy 3 BIG things:
    When’s the right time to sell a business and do you actually need to if running the business is so damn easy. 
    The differences between selling SaaS products and courses.
    Learn how to manage company updates and maintain alignment without traditional meetings.
     
    Enjoy these 3 things plus more ear nuggets along the way.

Howdy partner

I’ve been a cowboy all my life and no one does it like Noah.

But for real, first class podcast for anyone starting a business or growing one. Noah knows what he’s talking about and even better, how to effectively communicate it!

Read the book, listen to the podcast

I’m Hooked - This Podcast Rocks

I knew of Noah before I started listening to his podcast but never dove deep with his content. But then I saw Matt Gray interview of him, which got me to buy his new book, Million Dollar Weekend, which led me to check out his podcast. I listened to the first one this morning while on my daily run, and I’m hooked. Noah’s advice and content is just what I needed for this time of my life. I’ll be listening every day on my daily runs. Why re-invent the wheel? Listen to Noah and learn faster. Thank you, Noah!
