I like this cat FreeMan! I went and checked out his site and like you said the cat does have a lot to talk about. I guess like minds find each other even on blogs.
In your same approach the cat seems to talk like it’s a All In thing! I think the same way about money so I can appreciate the message.
Thanks for giving me 3 new sites to check out. I knew you weren’t the only one but now I have 3 more cats to interact with!
Many thanks my man for letting me spit on your site! Hope we can partner up in some more major projects once we get this current one up and running!
@Califormula – No problem mayne! There are many ways to the mountain top and I want to make sure we have more than me. I don’t know it all but what I know is enough for me but maybe not enough for you. So I wanted to bring in other cats so all of us can learn from each other.
@Arthur – No problem thanks for doing it! Definitely on the other projects just have to get together on back channels and start to build!
I’m loving the message here! I wish I could put together a “Drop Squad” for some people I know and just play this and the other podcasts until thier head explodes or they get the message.
Fantastic podcast keep up the great work! Being a veteran myself it feels good to see people be self reliant and then turn around and help people like me to learn the game step by step. HUUUUUURRRRAAAAHHHHH!!!
Kudos to Arthur and Freeman
I wouldn’t expect anything less of a BlockStandard member. Very good, very useful, very relevant knowledge dropped here. 2010 is the year we go IN!
I am a first time reader/listener and after that post I can happily say I am hooked on this site. I follow Arthur’s blog but have never heard him speak. Hearing his words were even more inspirational than reading his writing. Good stuff.
On another note, Freeman great job with the podcast. I was not really to sure about what type of quality to expect before listening but the production was on point. Keep up the good work.
Thanks everyone for falling through and the comments. Make sure you cats check out http://www.arthurpledger.com.
@Mike B – Thanks man I try to keep it flowing together and not be choppy. I want to make it easy to learn from without someone straining their ears to get the info.
Good podcast arthur and very good info on this site. This podcast is giving me the boost I need as Iam working on starting my own business.
