3 Business Lessons I've Learned As a New Dad

Today’s episode is a little bit different from what I normally share here on the podcast. A few months ago I opened up to my email list and Instagram followers about the experiences I was having as a new dad, because it was a really hard time for me. The support and outreach I received really touched me, and it inspired me to record this show today.

As you can imagine, I’ve learned a whole lot in the 3 months since my daughter was born. Some of these lessons are applicable to running a business, and I’ll be sharing them with you in this episode of The Art of Paid Traffic.

Before we start the show, I’ve got something to ask. How do you listen to this podcast? Is it in the iTunes app, Stitcher, Spotify or maybe iHeart Radio? Do you listen to it at regular speed, or maybe like me you listen to your podcasts at 1.5X speed? I want to know! Take a screenshot of you tuning in to The Art of Paid Traffic, and include it on your Instagram Story, while tagging me, @RickMulready!
