Hey guys, a few weeks ago I did a podcast with a great friend of mine, Arman Assadi.
He is actually one of the main reasons I had the confidence to start freelancing on my own on Upwork.
We truly helped push each other and both grew into helping a ton of people with their online businesses.
One of our biggest clients early on in our freelancing careers was Neil Patel and we talk about that story of how the project came together.
I think we dropped a great deal of useful information…
